Intercomparison of ambient acoustic spectra in inland and coastal waters

Quartly, G.D.; Shannon, K.M.; Guymer, T.H.; Birch, K.G.; Campbell, J.M.. 2002 Intercomparison of ambient acoustic spectra in inland and coastal waters. Acta Acustica united with Acustica, 88. 811-814.

Abstract
This paper compares the observed ambient sound levels at two very different sites, relating both to independent estimates of wind speed and rain rate. The spectra for wind-only conditions at the two sites show great differences, especially at low wind speed. The spectra associated with rain were sufficiently different from the wind-only spectra (either in terms of spectral slope or the intensity at 14.5 kHz) to support the development of a generic rather than site-specific rain detection algorithm.
