Description

Noise is any undesirable sound.

MSP Challenge

In the MSP Challenge Simulation Platform noise consists of any undesired sound or vibration.

The Noise layer is calculated on a month-by-month basis considering the existing (and planned) human activities in the sea basin. The contribution from each human activity to the total Noise in the sea region is defined from 0 (no impact) to 1 (full impact) by expert knowledge.

Noise is subsequently a pressure on the ecosystem. This means that this data layer is fed into the ecosystem simulation (EwE), and the ecosystem simulation will provide the users with the expected response from the species in the ecosystem.

Return to pressures.
