Accessible Oceans: Auditory Display. Net flux of CO2 between Ocean and Atmosphere

The seven tracks make up an auditory display of the net flux of carbon dioxide between the ocean and the atmosphere. The seven tracks in the auditory display are comprised of data sonifications and contextual audio supports (dialogue, auditory icons, and music). The data comes from the Ocean Observatory Initiative (OOI) and the display is based on the OOI Nugget developed by Dr. Leslie Smith.

The “Accessible Oceans” AISL Pilots and Feasibility study aims to inclusively design auditory displays that support the perception and understanding of ocean data in informal learning environments (ILEs). More can be found on the project website: https://accessibleoceans.whoi.edu/
