This methodology has been produced by a consortium of Loughborough University, the
National Physical Laboratory and Chickerell BioAcoustics. The work is part of a contract from
the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), Orkney, Scotland. The aim of this document is
to set out a provisional methodology for characterising the sound field around wave
generation systems installed at the Billia Croo Wave Test Site that can be used by EMEC and
developers to assess the noise field around such devices.
