Arctic Climate Observations using Underwater Sound (ACOUS) is a joint U.S. and Russian program started in 1995. The main objective of ACOUS is to establish a long–term, real–time Arctic Ocean observing system using cabled moorings that integrate point measurements with acoustic remote sensing measurements.

The remote sensing is used to monitor basin–scale changes in the ocean temperature and the thickness of the Arctic ice cover.
