SATURN D2.4 Standardized methods to facilitate impact assessment and cost-effective URN measurement
August 2024- Europe
Client: European Commission
In any innovation programme, consolidation is needed after successful innovation steps to provide a firm platform for further innovation. Thus, consolidation through standardisation is an integral part of the innovation cycle.
This document (D2.4) summarises the work of SATURN Work Package 2 (WP2) ‘Standardized methods to facilitate impact assessment and cost-effective URN measurement’. The purposes of WP2 are to develop and validate standardised methods to cost-effectively measure vessel underwater radiated noise (URN) and to facilitate the assessment of impacts from underwater noise generated by shipping and boats. These purposes are achieved by harmonising terminology, metrics, and methodology for measurements and modelling, including particle motion.
