Wind blowing over a snow layer on sea ice produces noise in the water beneath as a result of a multitude of snow grain impacts on the upper boundary of the snow. The noise intensity is independent of snow grain size and depends primarily on the snow grain flow. (Modified author abstract) Revision of...
