Abstract:
The cross correlation of the underwater noise field recorded at two receivers conveys information about the time-domain Green's function between the two locations, provided that sufficient energy is channeled into the acoustic paths connecting these. The efficiency of this procedure depends on the locations and characteristics of the receivers and noise sources, as well as on the refraction properties of the ocean sound channel. The sensitivity of the finite-frequency noise cross-correlation function with respect to the location and amplitude of the noise sources is studied here, taking into account the refractive features of the ocean environment. The sensitivity kernel describing changes in the cross-correlation envelope due to changes in the noise source distribution is used to highlight noise-source locations with maximum potential impact on the cross-correlation output.

Coefficient of Correlation
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the...

Correlation
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:
