Abstract :

This work presents a shallow water ambient noise analysis effort in the Arabian Sea. Real ambient noise recording at very shallow depths has been analyzed for two environmentally unique periods when the sound velocity profile and the wind conditions present distinct characteristics. Propagation characteristics of distant shipping noise and its impact on the ambient noise have been discussed in contrast to wind related noise for shallow water along with directionality aspects.
