Book Synopsis Atmospheric Effects Associated with Highway Noise Propagation by :
Download or read book Atmospheric Effects Associated with Highway Noise Propagation written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary questions investigated in this project were: What are the atmospheric conditions in the Phoenix valley that contribute to higher than normal sound levels? Are the conditions unique to the Phoenix valley? Can the atmospheric effects be anticipated? The main components of the project were: (1) a review of literature relevant to sound propagation, (2) detailed noise measurements in a Scottsdale neighborhood along the East Loop 101 Freeway, (3) computer modeling of sound propagation under various measured and inferred atmospheric conditions, (4) noise measurements before and after installation of an asphalt rubber friction course (ARFC) on the Pima Freeway by the ADOT Quiet Pavement Pilot Program, and (5) a pilot study investigating parametric models of tire/pavement noise. Some key conclusions are: nighttime thermal inversion conditions that are common in the Phoenix valley from October through March cause sound level increases of 5 to 8 dB at distances greater than 1/4 mile from freeways, nighttime down-slope drainage flows off the mountain ranges surrounding the Phoenix valley cause localized focusing and de-focusing of sound levels, sound level variations under inversion conditions appear to be greatest at locations that are upwind relative to the down-slope flows, the highest sound levels during the October to March period will usually occur right around sunrise when high traffic volumes coincide with strong inversion conditions, and installation of the ARFC reduces sound levels by 8 to 10 dBA both close to the roadway and at distances of 1/4 mile and greater. A final tentative conclusion is that, based on the computer modeling, there may be a rapid onset of refraction effects between about 200 and 300 m (650 to 1000 ft) from Phoenix valley roadways,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open-access book empowers its readers to explore the acoustic world of animals. By listening to the sounds of nature, we can study animal behavior, distribution, and demographics; their habitat characteristics and needs; and the effects of noise. Sound recording is an efficient and affordable tool, independent of daylight and weather; and recorders may be left in place for many months at a time, continuously collecting data on animals and their environment. This book builds the skills and knowledge necessary to collect and interpret acoustic data from terrestrial and marine environments. Beginning with a history of sound recording, the chapters provide an overview of off-the-shelf recording equipment and analysis tools (including automated signal detectors and statistical methods); audiometric methods; acoustic terminology, quantities, and units; sound propagation in air and under water; soundscapes of terrestrial and marine habitats; animal acoustic and vibrational communication; echolocation; and the effects of noise. This book will be useful to students and researchers of animal ecology who wish to add acoustics to their toolbox, as well as to environmental managers in industry and government.
