Weathering the storm: developments in the acoustic sensing of wind and rain

Quartly, Graham D.; Jones, Claire E.; Guymer, Trevor H.; Birch, Keith G.; Campbell, Jon M.; Waddington, Ian N.. 2003 Weathering the storm: developments in the acoustic sensing of wind and rain. In: IEEE Geoscience and Remote-Sensing Symposium, Toulouse, France, 21-25 Jul 2003.

Abstract
An Acoustic Rain Gauge (ARG) analyses the underwater sound levels across a wide frequency range, classifies the observed spectrum according to likely source and then determines the local wind speed or rain rate as appropriate. This paper covers a trial on the Scotian Shelf off Canada, comparing the geophysical information derived from the acoustic signals with those obtained from other sources.
