ClairwaveWhat is the sound speed profile outside Halifax in August, and where is the sonic layer depth?ClairwaveWhat ships are within 15 km of the Strait of Hormuz right now, and how loud is the largest one?ClairwaveHow far could a 150 Hz, 170 dB source at 20 m depth be detected by a receiver at 100 m off Vancouver, and open the run for me

Clairwave gives ChatGPT grounded ocean-acoustics answers instead of estimates from memory. Ask about any point in the world ocean and the plugin runs propagation physics on Clairwave's platform: parabolic-equation transmission loss along a bearing, sonar-equation detection ranges, and full 3D Bellhop transmission-loss volumes, driven by Clairwave-served bathymetry, seasonal sound-speed profiles and seabed acoustic parameters. It also covers ships: search live AIS positions by name or MMSI, list vessels near a point, estimate a vessel's radiated-noise source level from its class, speed and dimensions, fetch a photo, open an MMSI-keyed 3D hull model from the open shipshape fleet, and compute the power-summed noise level at a fixed site such as a fish farm or hydrophone. Every location accepts a place name ("outside Halifax", "Strait of Hormuz") as well as coordinates. Every simulation result carries a replication bundle (sound-speed profile, bottom parameters, bathymetry transect, grid) and a run id whose files are downloadable, plus a link that opens the run visualized in the Clairwave web platform with no sign-in. Typical uses: sonar and hydrophone planning, marine-mammal noise exposure screening, aquaculture noise monitoring, teaching ocean acoustics, checking a ship's audibility at a receiver, and exploring how season and seabed change propagation. No account is required. Compute calls share a platform-wide budget of about 20 per minute. Results are climatology-based and are not a substitute for in-situ measurements.
