Sea ice is frozen seawater that is usually less than a few metres thick. Urick 1984 has summarized a good many of these experimental papers and his report is valuable as it updates and extends the work of wenz 1972.
Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Low And Is Still Declining
A 13 month time series of arctic ocean noise from the marginal ice zone of the eastern beaufort sea is analyzed to detect under ice acoustic transients isolated from ambient noise with a dedicated algorithm.
Statistical Description Of Noise Under Shore Fast Sea Ice In Winter Book Free. Distribution can be highly non gaussian due to sea ice dynamics. Statistical description of noise under shorefast sea ice in winter. This is in contrast to ice shelves which are formed by glaciers float in the sea and are up to a kilometer thick.
The statistical properties and the spectra of the under ice noise can be related to the surface density and the waveform of the source pressure pulses by means of the model. Noise transients due to ice cracking fracturing shearing and ridging are sorted out into three categories. Vol 39 no 6.
Measurements of ambient noise under shore fast pack ice during winter revealed two distinct noiseproducing mechanisms. Antarctic sea ice is the sea ice of the southern ocean. Ambient noise investigations constitute one of the largest sections of the journal of the acoustical society of america.
The resulting icecracking sounds produced impulsive noise. Factures are initiated by large scale forces such as wind current or sustained cooling with the passage of a cold front zakarauskas et. The second mechanism was the interaction of the granular ice surface.
One mechanism was the production of tensile cracks at the surface of the sea ice by thermal stresses caused by decreasing air temperatures. Broadband impulses frequency modulated fm tones and high frequency. The journal of the acoustical society of america.
Pdf a 13 month time series of arctic ocean noise from the marginal ice zone of the eastern beaufort sea is analyzed to detect under ice acoustic transients isolated from ambient noise with a. Evideny the range of ice edge noise depends on the source level of the noise which is a function of sea state transmission loss which at moderately low frequencies in ice free water is controlled by the sound speed structure and the asymptotic andlent noise level far from the icewater boundary which at low frequencies is. For shore fast winter and spring pack ice tensile cracks at the surface caused by decreasing air temperatures act like point sources of noise.
It extends far north in winter and retreats almost to the coastline each summer. This study measured the under ice noise produced by a variety of anthropogenic sources drilling rigs helicopters aircraft landing and takeoff ice road traffic augers snowmobiles and chisels at a winter based diamond exploration project on kennady lake in the northwest territories canada to infer the potential impact of noise on fishes. Pdf the microwave backscatter statistics of the sea ice cover in the winter beaufort sea are characterized using c band synthetic aperture radar sar data collected by the european earth.
