Estimation of the vertical component of the intensity vector At 64 Hz Harmonic, 4 m separation between hydrophones is about 1/6 wavelength A finite difference approximation yield quantity proportional to vertical component of particle acceleration : a v = -1/   p /  z This is time integrated for vertical component of particle velocity, v. The Average pressure p is taken between adjacent sensors Active Intensity = Reactive Intensity = /( 2  f)

18. 1. The non-propulsive noise field beneath the vessel has effective radiation length L L increases with decreasing frequency (damping by internal structures) 2. Vertical Spatial Coherence of this noise field shows influence of seabed sensitive to ~10 % changes in  c 3. Spherical wave effects are non-observable with this data –likely will be for receivers closer to seabed, and frequencies < ~ 50 Hz 4.
