Baffin Bay Navigation and Communication (BBANC) Wiki

This Wiki supports the feasibility study of a Baffin Bay Acoustic Navigation and Communication (BBANC) system. BBANC will be a multipurpose acoustic network, supporting underwater AUV communication and navigation under ice, long-term studies of basin-scale heat content via acoustic thermometry and tomography, as well as passive studies of ambient noise and bioacoustics.

We draw inspiration from, and collaborate with, the authors of 2008 ANCHOR Workshop Report and recent community white papers presenting the vision of Multipurpose Acoustic Networks in the Integrated Arctic Ocean Observing System.
