Noise and sonic-boom impact technology. BOOMAP2 computer program for sonic-boom research. Volume 2. Program users/computer operations manual. Final report, July 86-November 1987
The BOOMAP2 and MOAOPS computer programs analyze noise from supersonic aircraft operations by extracting information from a TACTS/ACMI mission standard data tape and compiles a computer library of information concerning the supersonic operations. The BOOMAP2 program utilizes the library produced by the MOAOPS program. The program calculates various statistics on the supersonic operations, and calculates expected sonic boom levels on the ground based on the extracted information. BOOMAP2 can: 1) generate various spatial/temporal distribution statistics; 2) interface with sonic boom generation and propagation models; 3) calculate the intensity and location of sonic booms reaching the ground; and 4) provide the data file used by a commercial graphical software package, GPCP, to plot contours of boom exposure in units of average peak overpressure or C-weighted day-night average sound level (CDNL). These two programs, when used with an adequate library of aircraft sorties from Military Operating Areas, can be an invaluable tool for environmental planning purposes to predict boom intensity, frequency, and distribution. This report provides the program user's manual and computer operation's manual for the BOOMAP2 program developed under this contract.
