Ocean ambient noise spectrum is one of the most important characteristics of ambient noise. An ocean vector ambient noise field model was built up based on parabolic equation in this paper. Then the spectra of sound pressure, horizontal particle velocity and vertical particle velocity were calculated applying the model considering noise sources well distributed on the surface with typical summer sound speed profile in South China Sea. The simulation results showed that spectra of sound pressure, horizontal particle velocity and vertical particle velocity were obviously not varied with depth. Then, the simulated results were compared with the experiment results at the receiving depth of a trail in South China Sea in July 2012. Compared with the experimental results, the simulation results are consistent well with the experimental one of sound pressure and horizontal particle velocity in the trend. But the simulation values at low frequency band below 500[Formula: see text]Hz, are not consistent with the experimental one very well, in the band the simulation results are lower than the experimental by about 3–5[Formula: see text]dB. But the simulation result of vertical particle velocity was not consistent with the experimental one, illustrating that the precision of the model might not be enough in the vertical direction.

Signal transmission in ocean using water as a channel is a challenging process due to attenuation, spreading, reverberation, absorption, and so forth, apart from the contribution of acoustic signals due to ambient noises. Ambient noises in sea are of two types: manmade (shipping, aircraft over the sea, motor on boat, etc.) and natural (rain, wind, seismic, etc.), apart from marine mammals and phytoplanktons. Since wind exists in all places and at all time: its effect plays a major role. Hence, in this paper, we concentrate on estimating the effects of wind. Seven sets of data with various wind speeds ranging from 2.11 m/s to 6.57 m/s were used. The analysis is performed for frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 8 kHz. It is found that a linear relationship between noise spectrum and wind speed exists for the entire frequency range. Further, we developed a noise model for analyzing the noise level. The results of the empirical data are found to fit with results obtained with the aid of noise model.
