Using AUVs and Sources of Opportunity to Evaluate Acoustic Propagation

Abstract

The long-term goal is to develop a passive autonomous and mobile system to investigate all types of noise in the ocean, both manmade and naturally occurring. The information will be used to improve the understanding of the noise field and the environmental factors which affect the noise in coastal regions.
