In this paper, we characterize underwater noise during rain at the northeast Pacific continental margin by evaluating approximately 3.5 yrs of acoustical and meteorological data. The results of this study indicate that previously proposed algorithms for estimating rain rates from acoustic data are not universally applicable but rather have to be adapted for different locations.

We present and analyze an alternative, more robust approach to the Welchs overlapped segment averaging (WOSA) spectral estimator. Our method computes sample percentiles instead of averaging over multiple periodograms to estimate power spectral densities (PSDs). Read more
