33. This noise has been called Merchant Ship [M. Bouvet and S.C. Schwartz, “Underwater noises: Statistical modeling, detection, and normalization,” submitted for publication in J. Acoust. Soc. Am.] because it has been recorded in an area of commercial shipping and can be considered as mostly generated by traffic noise that has been shown to be non-Gaussian [M. Bouvet and S.C. Schwartz, “Signal detection and normalization in underwater noises modeled as a Gaussian-Gaussian mixture,” Information Sciences and Systems Laboratory, Report #18 (Princeton University, January 1986)].
