The ARMAP/AOV Team is exploring options for displaying near real-time ship tracks and positions in the Viewers, through subscriptions for AIS feeds with some additional coding. A particular focus for the near future is to display information for the Polarstern, which is currently locked in Arctic sea ice as part of the MOSAiC expedition.

The team has recommended formation of an “Interoperable Network Description Working Group”, as described in our white paper for the upcoming Arctic Observing Summit 2020, entitled “Optimizing Arctic Observing Through Interoperable Information Sharing Across Networks”. This new working group might be established under an international coordinating body, the Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) initiative. Please let us know if you have any feedback on this as it moves forward.
