PAMHUB

PAMHUB is a NERACOOS-hosted migration and reimplementation of NOAA Fisheries’ PAM-SI Cloud system. PAMHUB provides passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) ingestion, storage, processing, visualization, and archival export capabilities similar in purpose and user workflow to NOAA’s PAM-SI Cloud, but implemented and operated outside NOAA cloud infrastructure and targeted primarily at non-NOAA scientists. The goal is to give non-NOAA researchers and institutions a supported cloud service for storing, processing, visualizing, and exporting PAM data, while maintaining interoperability with common archival patterns where practical.

Motivation & goals

• Provide the regional ocean-observing and marine research communities with a maintained PAM cloud platform under NERACOOS operations.
• Reproduce core PAM-SI Cloud workflows: ingestion, standardized object storage, containerized/batch processing, derived-product generation, visualization, and export/archival hooks.
• Prioritize accessibility and clear onboarding for non-NOAA scientists.
• Implement infrastructure, policies, and tooling appropriate to NERACOOS (may differ from NOAA choices while preserving essential functionality).

Roadmap
