Fishing is a significant economic sector in Atlantic Canada. Increased fishing vessel density
raises ocean ambient noise, adversely affecting the marine ecosystem. This study aimed to …

Underwater radiated noise from marine vessels is a growing problem, with a large body of
evidence now showing the detrimental impact this is having on marine life. Whilst most of the …

Propeller cavitation and its effect on underwater radiated noise (URN) are topics of
increasing interest within the marine hydrodynamics community. Numerical prediction of the …

Abstract The Enhancing Cetacean Habitat and Observation (ECHO) source-level model was
statistically derived using nearly 10,000 vessel transits along Canada's western coast …

The performance evaluation of learning algorithms is essential in underwater acoustic target
recognition. Underwater acoustic data typically show temporal structures. However, these …

Electrification of ships offers zero-emission travel and is spreading rapidly, but the relation
between electric ship propulsion and noise pollution is not generally understood. Here …

Increased ship traffic due to climate change increases underwater noise in the Arctic.
Therefore, accurate measurements of underwater radiated noise are necessary to map …

An ocean acoustics experiment in 2017 near a shipping lane on the New England
continental shelf in about 75 m of water provided an opportunity to evaluate a methodology …

A radiation transport equation that describes the spatiotemporal evolution of the directional
spectrum of underwater acoustic noise is presented and applied to ship noise. A ray-based …

Understanding how underwater noise propagates from a source close to a free surface has
a number of important applications, including for propagation loss calculations for acoustic …
