Mechanisms of Wind Induced Low Frequency Ambient Sea Noise in the Deep Ocean

Theories of wave interaction and turbulence has been extend ed to the study of noise generating mechanisms in the frequency range of l to 10 Hz.The ambient sea noise caused by a disturb ed ocean is assumed as the result of the interaction of the surface wave, wind turbulence and wave turbulence actions which also satisfy the radiation condition.The noise spectrum level at the deep depth predicted from these noise generating mechanisms appears to agree in order of magnitude with the reported experimental data.Further discussion is directed to the effect of distance storms on the local noise level.
