Ambient noise in the Bransfield Strait and the Drake Passage, Antarctica: Temporal and spatial variations

In November of 2005, NOAA/OSU began long-term hydroacoustic monitoring of the waters in the Bransfield Strait–Drake Passage region using an autonomous hydrophone (AUH) array. The primary objective is to detect, locate, and analyze the distribution of earthquakes in the region where little previous i...

Summary:In November of 2005, NOAA/OSU began long-term hydroacoustic monitoring of the waters in the Bransfield Strait–Drake Passage region using an autonomous hydrophone (AUH) array. The primary objective is to detect, locate, and analyze the distribution of earthquakes in the region where little previous information exists.
