## Tools (13)

- `about`: What Clairwave provides, which models/data back each tool, and limits.
- `estimate_detection_range`: Sonar detection range along a bearing from a location (lat/lon or `place`). Transmission loss (TL) is ALWAYS computed: RAM parabolic equation with the location'
- `get_bathymetry`: Seafloor depth from Clairwave-served global bathymetry (~450 m resolution). Location: lat/lon or `place` (name resolved to a water point, echoed in `location`).
- `get_sound_speed_profile`: Seasonal sound-speed profile c(z) at a location (lat/lon or `place` name, e.g. "Halifax approaches") for a calendar month (1-12), from Clairwave-served seasonal
- `get_vessel`: Everything about one vessel: live AIS position/track and static particulars, plus its 3D model (unique photo-derived model if generated, else the class archetyp
- `get_vessel_photo`: Photograph of a vessel from Wikimedia Commons, with attribution.
- `habitat_received_level`: Broadband received level (dB re 1 uPa) at a fixed site — a fish farm, reef, hydrophone or marine protected area — from the ships around it, power-summed. Each v
- `resolve_place`: Turn a place name ('outside Halifax', 'Strait of Hormuz', 'Bergen, Norway') into water coordinates. Maritime gazetteer first (ports resolve to their approaches,
- `run_bellhop_volume`: Full 3D transmission-loss volume around a source (lat/lon or `place`) with Bellhop (all bearings), stored on the platform under a run id. Show `open_url` to the
- `run_transmission_loss`: Run a physically grounded transmission-loss simulation (RAM parabolic equation) from a source at (lat, lon or `place`, depth) along a compass bearing. Bathymetr
- `search_vessels`: Search live AIS vessels by name or MMSI prefix (global feed).
- `vessel_source_level`: Underwater radiated-noise source level of a ship (monopole, dB re 1 uPa m, 6 m reference source depth): decidecade spectrum (10 Hz - 100 kHz; model bands to 31.
- `vessels_near`: Live AIS vessels within radius_km of a point (lat/lon or `place`), nearest first, with position, course/speed, type, dimensions and last-update time.
