Abstract:
An analysis of ambient noise data collected from seven locations in the western Canadian Arctic at varying depths (30-350 m) during ice-free seasons over a period of five years (2018-2022) has been conducted. The measured noise level correlates well with wind speed after the removal of contaminated (sources other than wind) noise data. The characteristics of wind noise are predicted by fitting a multi-parameter empirical model to data. Results from the model are compared with existing empirical wind noise models and validated using data collected from one of the measurement locations.
