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 activities running (or planned) 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 will respond accordingly.
