abstract = "This study aims to analyse the combined influence of weather conditions and position on perceived noise in the vicinity of an outdoor shooting range. Both acoustic and meteorological data from different measurement campaigns were used. Wind direction component in the receiver direction
was found to be well correlated with the mean shooting noise exposure level. This correlation depends on measurement position since the directivity of firearms and the effect of firing sheds on the sound propagation. By combining these results with wind direction statistics, we derived the
yearly mean noise exposure level distribution of one shot at one place.",
