• Animal Telemetry: OTN, a project of Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), led by Canada, has accepted to adopt the Animal Acoustic Telemetry (AAT) Data solutions recently reconciled by U.S. IOOS, NANOOS, OTN, and Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) and other partners (for more details: https://code.google.com/p/ioostech/wiki/AnimalAcousticTelData). These data solutions include A) standard AAT data content and standard discovery metadata (based on FGDC and ISO) and B) standard access using ERDDAP and GEOSERVER services. These AAT data solutions are expected to facilitate data exchange between data centers, unite oceanographers and trackers and users getting the data they want in formats they need.
