This proposal is to test the long-range capability for acoustic transmission from Heard Island in the south Indian Ocean to listening stations on the east and west coasts of the U.S. Since the travel time across the ocean is primarily a function of the ocean temperature, the signals may be inverted for ocean temperatures. Initially the work is to provide an acoustic signal and determine if may be heard sufficiently well to be used as a proxy for temperature. If successful, a long-term deployment may be considered for climatic monitoring purposes.

这项提议是为了测试从南印度洋的赫德岛到美国东海岸和西海岸的监听站的远程声音传输能力。由于穿越大洋的旅行时间主要是海洋温度的函数，因此信号可能会随着海洋温度的变化而反转。最初的工作是提供声学信号，并确定是否可以听得足够清楚，以用作温度的代理。如果成功，出于气候监测的目的，可能会考虑长期部署。
