Consideration of Underwater Electric Potential Noises in the Sea

Abstract

It is well known that corrosion of a ship body makes UEP (underwater electric potential) generate around the ship. UEP can be measured by a pair of two electrodes. We use UEP signals to detect naval vessels; however, UEP noises in the sea disturb precise detection. Therefore we investigate UEP noises using with two systems which have several UEP senants.
