CLEAN beamforming for the enhanced detection of multiple infrasonic sources

The detection and characterization of signals of interest in the presence of (in)coherent ambient noise is central to the analysis of infrasound array data. Microbaroms have an extended source region and a dynamical character. From the perspective of an infrasound array, these coherent noise sources appear as interfering signals which...

Deep ocean sound speed characteristics passively derived from the ambient acoustic noise field

The propagation of acoustic waves in the ocean strongly depends on the temperature. Lowfrequency acoustic waves can penetrate the ocean down to depths where few in situ measurements are available. It is therefore attractive to obtain a measure of the deep ocean temperature from acoustic waves. The latter is especially true if the ambient...
