Figure 5

Sound pressure level spectra acquired by PAL between October 15 and November 15, 2011 and, superimposed, rainfall rates (solid line) and wind speed measurements (dashed line) collected by the rain gauge and the sonic anemometer on board the buoy, respectively. Three major stormy events passed over the buoy position on October 25, November 5, and November 7-8, 2011.
