waters (shores) and in the deep ocean; can be due to multiple and simultaneous sources; is time/frequency dependent due to the swell period variations (over a day/week/year?); is location dependent due to attenuation; depends on the coupling efficiency between water depth column and solid ground; depends on the site quality (geology) beneath the receivers. Very simple process indeed. . . work in progress More details in Beucler, É., A. Mocquet, M. Schimmel, S. Chevrot, O. Quillard, J. Vergne & M. Sylvander (2014).
