A method of estimating the influence of ship's noise on ambient noise measurements
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)Ambient noise measurements are often adversely affected by noise from passing ships. Here, a method is presented which allows the estimation of this influence. The method is especially suitable for shallow water applications. ... -
A parametric examination of some properties of the low-frequency ambient noise field
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)Models for ship-generated ambient noise vary considerably in the detail required of their input data on sources and the environment. This paper describes a model that predicts ambient-noise levels and cumulative distribution ... -
Acoustic source characteristics of merchant ships
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)Merchant ships are sources of broadband acoustic noise which can interfere with and confuse ocean surveillance. The purpose of this discussion is to review: the status of research on and measurements of merchant ship ... -
Extracting acoustic source information of shipping noise for dynamic ambient noise modelling
(CMRE, 2019/05)Shipping traffic is one of the largest contributors to anthropogenic noise in the ocean. Noise generated by merchant ships elevates natural occurring ambient noise level by 20-30 dB in many areas of the world?s ocean. In ... -
Seismic and hydroacoustic sensing of infrasonic noise in coastal waters
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)Three-component ocean-bottom seismometers with radio links have been deployed in coastal waters to investigate natural and man-made noise at extremely low frequencies. Seismograms from one or up to three sensor stations ... -
Site and frequency dependence of ambient noise in the North Eastern Pacific Ocean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)One-hour averages of omnidirectional ambient noise measurements at 60 Hz and 165 Hz are analyzed for two nearby, deep ocean sites in the Northeastern Pacific during February and March 1981. Site A is a high noise site and ... -
The prediction of temporal statistics of directional ambient shipping noise
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)A technique for predicting the probability density function (PDF) of the ambient-noise power received by a narrow-band system in a modelled shipping and wind noise field is described. The densities of the shipping noise ...
