Abstract

A model that relates the frequency-angular characteristics of wind waves on the sea surface to the frequency spectrum of acoustic radiation generated by them is constructed. Based on empirical wave energy distribution functions, it is shown that, in the vicinity of the peak of the wind wave spectrum, the intensity of acoustic radiation strongly depends on the model chosen for the angular distribution function ϑ(α) and on its parameters. At high frequencies, four to five times higher than the dominant wave frequency, it is possible to assume that, to a first approximation, ϑ(α) = const. In the intermediate frequency range, between the dominant frequency and the high frequencies, the predominant contribution to the sound radiation is made by the waves that travel in the direction close to orthogonal with respect to the wind.
