    Abstract: The Seabed Characterization Experiment 2017 (SBCEX17) was carried out on the New England shelf in an area known as the “mud patch” during the months of March-April 2017. The experiment site was located ~120 km south of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in water ~75 m deep. Two, 16-element, vertical receiving arrays were deployed ~6 km apart by the Marine Physical Laboratory and recorded source transmissions and ambient noise over the period 22 March - 3 April. Near the end of these deployments, a large storm passed over the area with winds building from 10 kts to 50 kts then calming over a 2-day period (31 March - 2 April). This paper presents the calibrated noise observations as a function of wind speed during that 2-day period.
