The wave form of the recording.
From sosus to wind farms
In the 1960s, 70s and 80s, this kind of sonic technology was deeply important for the army, which used the Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) to follow things like Soviet submarine movements. (Think of Jaag on October Spy games here.) With the help of underwater beam formation and triangulation, the system submarines can identify many hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away. The Sosus mission was released in 1991.
Nowadays, high-tech sonic buoys, thirts, tags and dragged arrays are also widely used in non-military research. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) in particular has an important system of oceanic sound acquisition devices that do everything, from following animal migration patterns to identifying the right whale calving season to monitoring offshore wind turbines and their effects on life at sea .
But Noaa also uses its network of devices to check non-animal sound-included earthquakes, boats and oil drills Seismic surveys.
What is left of the Titan, spread over the ocean floor.
In June 2023, these devices collected an audible anomaly that in the general time and the location of the Titan Implosion. The admission has been transferred to the Dutch Safety Board and has now been released for public release.
The Titan is still the purpose of both investigations and lawsuits; Critics have long argued that the immersion was not completely safe due to the building technology (carbon fiber versus the traditional titanium) and are operating systems based in wireless and touchscreen (including a Logitech Game Controller).
“At a certain point, safety is just pure waste,” Rush once told a journalist. Unfortunately it can be difficult to know exactly where that point is. But it is now possible to hear what it sounds like when you are – and far below the surface of the ocean.
