Abstract

During the summer of 1982 at sites on the continental shelf of British Columbia, ambient noise measurements were made in three frequency bands centred at 4.3, 8.0 and 14.5 KHz. The experiment was designed to compare the relationship between ambient noise and wind speed over a continental shelf with similar previous measurements made in the deep ocean. The results provide encouraging evidence for the potential use of ambient noise measurements in estimating both wind speed and precipitation. -from Authors
