Abstract
Underwater ambient noise is known to be dependent on the wind. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the nature of the transfer of energy from the wind field to the acoustic noise field. Examples include wind and wave turbulence and nonlinear interactions between surface waves, which given rise to many phonemena not present in linear theory. This study examines these wind‐related mechanisms from the low end of the acoustic spectrum. Data from a long‐term study of ocean waves and the associated microseismic field recorded ashore has produced evidence helpful to the identification of processes active in the acoustic field at somewhat higher frequencies. The unique environment under which these recordings were made in New Zealand has contributed to the success of the study. Correlations with ambient noise recorded by a shallow water hydrophone were also made.
