SUMMER SCHOOL 2018: ATMOSPHERIC SOUND PROPAGATION

13-15 June 2018
Valpré - 1 Chemin de Chalin, 69130 Écully, France
The aim of this international summer school is to provide an overview of the modelling and experimental characterisation of sound wave propagation in the atmosphere over distances ranging from hundreds of metres to hundreds of kilometres, as well as to present the state of the art in research. Numerical approaches to predicting sound propagation in the atmosphere will be described. The importance of taking into account uncertainties and variability will be highlighted. Experimental approaches will also be presented and the inherent difficulties and good practices for in situ measurement of ground acoustic properties and atmospheric state will be discussed. Applications in transport noise will be discussed, including noise map generation, sound synthesis and noise annoyance. Some inverse problems such as source location in the outdoor environment and tomography of the atmosphere by acoustic measurements will be addressed. Finally, presentations on current issues (infrasound, wind turbine noise, sonic boom and bioacoustics) will be given.
