Tools as reported by the server

• resolve_place
  Turn a place name ('outside Halifax', 'Strait of Hormuz', 'Bergen, Norway') into water coordinates. Maritime gazetteer first (ports resolve to their approaches, straits/seas to a representative point), then OpenStreetMap. Points on land or shallower than min_depth_m are walked seaward along the gaze
• 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`). Without a bearing: depth at the point. With a bearing (compass degrees, 0 = north): a depth profile along that transect out to range_km.
• 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 temperature/salinity climatology, plus the seabed parameters (compressional/shear speed, density ratio, attenuation, sediment type) at 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. Bathymetry, the seasonal sound-speed profile (`month`) and seabed parameters are fetched for the location automatically. Returns TL vs range at the r
• 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's bathymetry, seasonal sound speed (`month`, default: current month) and seabed. Every other sonar-equation term is optional — anything not
• 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 user as a clickable link: it opens this run visualized. Returns the run id, the replication metadata (SSP, seabed, bounding box) and file l
• search_vessels
  Search live AIS vessels by name or MMSI prefix (global feed).
• 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.
• 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 archetype) with GLB URL (bow=+Z, up=+Y) and platform links.
• 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 31.5 kHz, validated 20 Hz - 20 kHz) and broadband level, from the JOMOPANS-ECHO reference spectrum model (MacGillivray & de Jong 2021, J. Mar.
• 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 vessel's source level comes from its AIS class, speed and size; transmission loss is a fast broadband model, so this is a screening estimate
