Wave-Wave Interactions, Microseisms, and Infrasonic Ambient Noise in the Ocean.
Abstract
This particular work was initiated following a review of the current literature covering the ambient noise field at very low frequencies. The sparsity of good published data and the continuing interest in low frequency ambient noise have prompted this effort at this time. This report is intended to be the first in a series of contributions to the subject which will be submitted for publication in the near future from reports prepared in recent years at Applied Research Laboratories, The University of Texas (ARL:UT). In this report, correlations of wave climate and ocean induced microseism activity detected by a land-based sensor are examined. The quality of the data, the long term nature of the observations, and a unique property of the geographical region under investigation have helped clarify the role of nonlinear wave-wave interactions in ocean wave and ocean noise processes.
