  2. Breaking wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_wave

    A plunging wave breaks with more energy than a significantly larger spilling wave. The wave can trap and compress the air under the lip, which creates the "crashing" sound associated with waves. With large waves, this crash can be felt by beachgoers on land. Offshore wind conditions can make plungers more likely.

  3. Seismic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_noise

    Research on the origin of seismic noise [1] indicates that the low frequency part of the spectrum (below 1 Hz) is principally due to natural causes, chiefly ocean waves.In particular the globally observed peak between 0.1 and 0.3 Hz is clearly associated with the interaction of water waves of nearly equal frequencies but probating in opposing directions.

    Ann and Gail try hitchhiking and get passed by the first car. Gail raises Ann's skirt to expose her leg when a second car passes, and the driver ends up crashing into a tree. Next, they block the road by sitting on their suitcases so the next car is forced to stop. In the sports car is banker Cosmo Topper and his chauffeur, Eddie.

    The sound is consistent with the noises generated by icequakes in large icebergs, or large icebergs scraping the ocean floor. [3] The sound's source was roughly triangulated to a remote point in the south Pacific Ocean west of the southern tip of South America, and the sound was detected several times by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous ...

    The sound's source was roughly triangulated to , a remote point in the South Pacific Ocean west of the southern tip of South AmericaThe sound was detected by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array, [1] a system of hydrophones primarily used to monitor undersea seismicity, ice noise, and marine mammal population and migration.

  9. Underwater acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_acoustics

    Output of a computer model of underwater acoustic propagation in a simplified ocean environment. A seafloor map produced by multibeam sonar. Underwater acoustics (also known as hydroacoustics) is the study of the propagation of sound in water and the interaction of the mechanical waves that constitute sound with the water, its contents and its boundaries.
