Arctic Ambient Noise Prediction System: Users and Operations Manual

Abstract

The objective of this users and operations manual for the Arctic Ambient Noise Prediction System is 1) to provide the non-ADP personnel with the information necessary to effectively use this prediction system and 2) to provide computer control and operator personnel with a detailed operational description of the system and its associated environment with which they will be concerned during the performance of their duties. The Arctic Ambient Noise Prediction computer programs are of a tactical and management information nature, and provide estimates of the intensities of under-ice noise in the Arctic. These estimates are based on empirical relationships between ice motion and noise levels. The ice motion is predicted from the U.S. Navy's Polar Ice Prediction System (PIPS), and the noise intensities for regions throughout the arctic are used as indications of where noise levels are high (or low) and the duration of noise events.
