Simulations to Spot a Problem Before it Occurs
February 5, 2025
Real-time monitoring shows current vessel status, while simulations predict future behavior.
Measuring Sound: Onboard Approaches
February 5, 2025
Onboard noise monitoring, using sensors placed directly on the vessel, offers advantages like real-time data collection during normal operations.
The Problem of Depth
February 5, 2025
While deep-water acoustic ranges are preferred for standardized vessel noise measurement, they are less accessible than shallow-water ranges.
Detecting and Measuring Underwater Radiated Noise
February 5, 2025
Accurate underwater noise measurement, using hydrophones and acoustic ranges, is crucial for researchers, regulators, and vessel operators to understand noise impacts on marine life.
