Quonops© Online Services provide noise monitoring and prediction tools. In a similar manner to weather forecasting systems, Quonops© produces an estimate of the spatio-temporal distribution of noise levels generated by human activities at sea, aggregating multiple sources, and assessing short-, mid- and long-term source contributions to the global noise field. The outputs from Quonops© are tailored to the requirements of existing and emerging national and international regulations regarding
Such tools aims to support management decisions by assessing, quantifying and prioritizing direct and indirect anthropogenic pressures on marine life, according to regulations on underwater noise, especially the descriptor 11 of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
Based on physical acoustic propagation models, Quonops© considers the reality of the area through input data gathered from numerous sources. Copernicus Marine Service catalogue provides environment data which impact the underwater sound propagation and ambient noise levels such as :
Historical and present information allow Quonops© Online Services to run live and historical modeling. Copernicus Marine Service data are sometimes interpolated and extrapolated to fit to Quonops© modeling grids. Otherwise, they are transformation free.
