An Acoustic Data-Processing Software Package for the Statistical Analysis of Array Beam-Noise and Noise Directionality Estimation

Abstract

A software package of onboard acoustic data-processing and the statistical analysis of array beam-noise has been implemented on an IBM 3033 computer system. The package both assesses data quality and measures the noise- field's statistical characteristics and directionality. Many of the outputs are sufficiently general to have application to other types of data or to satisfy other objectives. The various outputs are described and illustrated by results from measurements of the ambient noise by a towed array. A simplified run procedure is included to facilitate the use of the software package by the analyst.
