Book Synopsis Ocean Ambient Noise by : William M. Carey
Download or read book Ocean Ambient Noise written by William M. Carey. This book was released on 2011-03-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph develops the theory of noise mechanisms and measurements, and describes general noise characteristics and computational methods. The vast ambient noise literature is concisely summarized using theory combined with key representative results. The air sea boundary interaction zone is described in terms of nondimensional variables requisite for future experiments. Noise field coherency, rare directional measurements, and unique basin scale computations and methods are presented. The use of satellite measurements in these basin scale models is demonstrated. A series of appendices provides in-depth mathematical treatments which will be of interest to graduate students and active researchers.

Book Synopsis Ocean Noise and Marine Mammals by : National Research Council
Download or read book Ocean Noise and Marine Mammals written by National Research Council. This book was released on 2003-05-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the 119 species of marine mammals, as well as for some other aquatic animals, sound is the primary means of learning about the environment and of communicating, navigating, and foraging. The possibility that human-generated noise could harm marine mammals or significantly interfere with their normal activities is an issue of increasing concern. Noise and its potential impacts have been regulated since the passage of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. Public awareness of the issue escalated in 1990s when researchers began using high-intensity sound to measure ocean climate changes. More recently, the stranding of beaked whales in proximity to Navy sonar use has again put the issue in the spotlight. Ocean Noise and Marine Mammals reviews sources of noise in the ocean environment, what is known of the responses of marine mammals to acoustic disturbance, and what models exist for describing ocean noise and marine mammal responses. Recommendations are made for future data gathering efforts, studies of marine mammal behavior and physiology, and modeling efforts necessary to determine what the long- and short-term impacts of ocean noise on marine mammals.

Book Synopsis Ambient Noise in the Sea by :
Download or read book Ambient Noise in the Sea written by . This book was released on 1984. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By ambient noise we mean the prevailing, sustained unwanted background of sound at some spot in the ocean. It excludes momentary, occasional sounds, such as the noise of a close-by passage of a ship or of an occasional rain squall. It is the background of noise, typical of the location and depth where a measuring hydrophone is located, against which a signal," such as the sound of a submarine or the echo from a target, must be detected. Ambient noise also excludes all forms of self-noise, such as the noise of current flow around the measurement hydrophone and its supporting structure, and obviously must exclude all forms of electrical noise. Thus, ambient noise is what is left over, so to speak, after identifiable, occasional noise sources are accounted for.
