@mbari_news: Deep-sea ASMR brought to you by a robot unspooling a cable. 〰️⁠ ⁠ MBARI's underwater hydrophone sits on the seafloor about 30 kilometers (18 miles) from shore, just west of Monterey Bay. It is attached (by this neat neon cable) to the MARS undersea cabled observatory, which carries data from the hydrophone back to shore. ⁠ ⁠ Although the MARS hydrophone is located on the deep seafloor, most of the sounds it picks up are from animals and activities higher up in the water or even at the sea surface. For example, it is common for the hydrophone to pick up the calls of sea lions, dolphins, and other near-surface animals, as well as the sounds of rain, waves, and wind blowing over the sea surface.⁠ ⁠ Interested in listening to the ocean soundscape? Anyone can eavesdrop on sounds in the deep sea via a continuous audio stream that carries live sound from 900 meters (3,000 feet) below the surface of Monterey Bay. Head to the link in our bio to start your auditory adventure. #MBARI #DeepSea #DeepOcean #fyp #asmr
