## About

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.

## How to use

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Clairwave in ChatGPT's Plugin directory (button above), select + to add it and sign in if asked.

2. **Use it in a chat** Type @ in the composer and pick Clairwave, or start your message with its name. ChatGPT may also suggest it when it fits what you ask.

## Example prompts

- "What is the sound speed profile outside Halifax in August, and where is the sonic layer depth?"
- "What ships are within 15 km of the Strait of Hormuz right now, and how loud is the largest one?"
- "How 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"
