Upsweep is an unidentified sound detected on the American NOAA's equatorial autonomous hydrophone arrays. This sound was present when the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory began recording its sound surveillance system, SOSUS, in August 1991. It consists of a long train of narrow-band upsweeping sounds of several seconds in duration each.
Milky sea effect off the coast of Somalia in the Indian Ocean. Milky seas (Somali: Kaluunka iftiima; English: Milky seas), sometimes confused with mareel, are a luminous phenomenon in the ocean in which large areas of seawater (up to 100,000 km 2 or 39,000 sq mi [1]) appear to glow diffusely and continuously (in varying shades of blue).
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.
Chapman helped to analyze the data from the recordings in the 1980s and discovered the data contained a “gold mine” of information about many kinds of sound in the ocean, including from marine ...
The observed vibrations were then converted into sound and the frequency was sped up so the noise would be audible to human ears. Listen to the ear-shattering noise in the video above, and feel ...
NASA May Add Messages from Earth to Pluto Probe for Aliens Videos of eerie noises erupting from the skies have recently surfaced on YouTube, sending people into a panic around the world.
Aside from sound produced by the acoustic source, the hydrophones record background noise caused by natural processes such as breaking of wind waves at the ocean surface. These other, unwanted sounds are often much louder than sound reflected from thermohaline boundaries. Use of signal-processing filters quietens unwanted sounds and increases ...
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.
