Abstract

Abstract

The vertical distribution of ocean ambient noise is measured by a vertical array beside shipboard.The results of data processing and analyses show that the wind-generated noise induced by the local wave-breaking contributes much to the ambient noise in six different depths.Both the relations between the ambient noise levels in the frequency band from 0.1 to 20.0 kHz and the receiver depth,and between the ambient noise spectrum levels and the logarithm of wind speeds are given.The linear relations are found between the spectrum levels in the frequency band from 1 to 4 kHz and the logarithm of wind speeds,which are not affected by the receiver depths.
- wind-generated noise,
- wind speed,
