Ambient Sound Modeling Workshop 2022
Abstract
Understanding the characteristics of ocean ambient sound has both civil and military applications. The IQOE 2019 [1] meeting brought, together experts in ocean acoustic observations and agreed on harmonized approaches to measurement and processing. While modeling i,s not addressed by IQOE (2019), the accurate modeling of ambient sound levels and directionality has been an ongoing challenge for m,any years. However, recent advances may provide significant improvements in the precision and accuracy of ambient sound forecasting,, nowcasting and hindcasting. Some of these developments include improved environmental data (e.g., oceanographic and meteorological,nowcasts and forecasts) as well as detailed information about shipping (including AIS positions, destinations, and ship characterist,ics). We propose an international workshop, bringing together ambient-sound researchers with interest in both soundscapes and ambien,t noise with the purpose of comparing the results of their different analysis approaches for a specified scenario. Among the goals i,s to develop scenarios and metrics to help quantify the benefit from acoustic model predictions in terms of improved decision making,.
