Our results demonstrate that noise source modeling is both feasible and recommended in validating the 'ambient source' assumption prior to noise-based velocity analyses. Persistent noise sources near the Gargano promontory and the Tyrrhenian Sea coast are strongly suggested by the observed cross-correlations. The presence of a single point source or a cluster of point sources could both produce coherent Rayleigh wave energy in southern Italy. While the nature of the noise sources is still uncertain, baroclinic estimates and dynamic topography models favor an explanation that encompasses atmosphere-ocean coupling and heightened wave interaction off the Adriatic coast. Our records indicate that these noise sources can maintain their average location for up to 7 months despite seasonal and, possibly, daily variations.
