Analyzing seasonally and wind-dependent performance of rain detection from underwater acoustic power spectral density.

Rainfall can be empirically monitored by analyzing characteristic spectral features in the ocean's ambient sound. Previous work to detect and estimate rainfall from passive underwater acoustics used linear transformations of these features; Ma and Nystuen [J. Atmos. Oceanic Technol. 22, 1225-1248 (2005)] measured acous...
