MOAS (Measured Ocean Acoustic Sensing)

Measured Ocean Acoustic Sensing (MOAS) is a technique that uses underwater microphones and sensors to detect and analyze sound signals in the ocean. By listening to noises such as ships, marine life, or geological activity, MOAS helps monitor ocean environments, track vessels, or detect submarines. It involves deploying arrays of sensors that record acoustic data over large areas, enabling analysts to interpret sound patterns and identify specific sources. This method provides vital information for maritime security, environmental research, and underwater exploration, offering a non-invasive way to understand underwater activities and conditions.
