ESRF Study | Analysis of Acoustic Particle Motion Data from the Svein Vaage Airgun Study

View Report

September 2018 — Norway

An Environmental Studies Research Fund project

A detailed analysis of particle motion and hydrophone datasets from an airgun in a deep fjord in Norway. JASCO used the hydrophone measurements to derive corrections for the sensitivities and positions of the nearby M20s, a new type of particle motion sensor. The corrected measurements were then used to validate the pressure and particle acceleration predictions for single airguns of JASCO's Airgun Array Source Model. Part of ESRF Project 2014-02S, providing new results to inform future environmental assessments of human activities on Canada’s East Coast.
