Active Sonar Recorded at SanctSound Site CI05_07

browse graphicMonitoring locations for the SanctSound project. Credit: NOAA
This record represents encounters of active sonar. Encounters of low and mid-frequency active sonar were logged manually from Long-term Spectral Averages using the Logger remora in Triton and user-defined settings. All detected signals with the same characteristics detected within 1 hour of each other were considered one encounter.These data were recorded at SanctSound Site CI05_07 between February 15, 2021 and March 07, 2021.

    • Sound Monitoring
      NOAA and the U.S. Navy are working to better understand underwater sound within the U.S. National Marine Sanctuary System. From 2018 to 2021, these agencies will work with numerous scientific partners to study sound within seven national marine sanctuaries and one marine national monument, which includes waters off Hawai'i and the east and west coasts. Standardized measurements will assess sounds produced by marine animals, physical processes (e.g., wind and waves), and human activities. Collectively, this information will help NOAA and the Navy measure sound levels and baseline acoustic conditions in sanctuaries. This work is a continuation of ongoing Navy and NOAA research, including efforts by NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries This dataset represents the derived products from the raw acoustic data that are archived at NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Processing Steps
  • Encounters of active sonar were logged manually from Long-term Spectral Averages (LTSA), using the Logger remora in Triton (Scripps Whale Acoustics Lab, La Jolla, USA), with the following settings: Window length = 1 h, Frequency range = 0-6000 Hz, Brightness = 40 dB, Contrast = 100%. All detected signals with the same characteristics detected within 1 hour of each other were considered one encounter.
  • Data were processed with Triton - (1.93.20160524/Github version d81e5fa) and Matlab (2016b and newer; statistics toolbox).
