Abstract
The observed relationship between wind speed and ambient noise level has varied from ocean to ocean. Generally higher levels measured in southern hemisphere oceans have been attributed to fully developed seas, although this mechanism is not understood. Ambient noise data taken near Bermuda after a persistent (5 days) wind of approximately 40 kn are higher than previously observed and consistent with southern ocean measurements, thus supporting a developed sea state hypothesis.
