Idea: Record a time series of ocean surface height with two synchronized wave gauges some distance apart. Convert it to audio, speed it up and listen as stereo. What would the brain make of it?

It'd be especially interesting to hear the directionality of the waves. But could you also hear the wind or sunrise/sunset in the frequency content?

I think it's a great idea. I have the means to build and deploy a few senors in Galway Bay (https://goo.gl/maps/JyqUfPWJRBC2 …) if you'd like to collaborate. How many hours of data would be needed do you think?

Wow, that'd be great! I think if we want to accelerate the waves from 0.1 to ~500 Hz, we would get 7.2 seconds of audio per an hour recorded. So 4 hours would become 30 seconds, would that be sufficient? Or maybe 8 for a full minute?

As for the inter-sensor distance, it should probably be scaled somehow from the human inter-aural distance. I think 0.215 m * (500 Hz / 0.1 Hz) * (v / c), where v = speed of ocean waves and c = speed of sound.

Ocean waves don't have just one single speed. Instead the speed is proportional to the square root of wavelength.
