One key societal impact of HIAOOS will be its innovations in data transmission. This includes the development of data delivery chains from different observing systems into interoperable data systems where the data can be found and accessed.
Near real time data delivery by acoustic arrays in a network of buoys drifting with the ice can help to detect earthquakes and other geophysical events and provide ice-ocean parameter for use in ice-ocean forecasting and climate systems. Better knowledge and warning about geohazards are important for society, as well as better and more forecasts and climate predictions. Efficient data deliver chains are essential to support these services.
Evaluation of the HIAOOS data delivery chains will be evaluated in the context of each of the field campaigns, and a full evaluation will be available towards the end of the project.
