Abstract
= 91 dB). SPL increased as wind speed increased, but decreased as both ice concentration and air temperature increased. The highest SPLs were in August-October, and the lowest in March–April. SPL increased as the number of ships increased. The highest mean SPLs were recorded near southeast Baffin Island, but the most ship noise was recorded near Pond Inlet (>1 ship/day in summer). This study provides an important baseline for underwater sound levels in the Canadian Arctic, and fills many geographic gaps on published underwater sound levels.
