Underwater acoustics - Quantities and procedures for description and measurement of underwater sound from ships - Part 3: Requirements for measurements in shallow water
Abstract
The ISO 17208 series describe procedures for the measurement and analysis of underwater sound from ships. The methodology and measurement configuration are sufficient to provide reliable acoustic data, but also suitable for end-users to conduct the measurements without access to large, fixed sound measurement facilities. ISO17208-1 covers measurements of radiated noise level in deep water, and ISO 17208-2 the calculation of source level from the deep-water data. This document has been developed to address the need to cover source level measurements in shallow water, one reason being that deep water maritime areas are sometimes far away from the zone of operation of the ships considered.
