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.
abstract=This record represents the explosions detected from raw passive acoustic data. All acoustic data were processed using Triton's Explosion Detector, which is based on a cross-correlation of the recording with a template explosion. The detector divides the recording into sequentially analyzed sections of 75 s. The detector outputs are a series of .mat files that can be evaluated using GPLReview. The original wav file was decimated to a sample rate of 12 kHz, a requirement of the algorithm. The default parameters work well for most explosive sounds. These data were recorded at SanctSound Site CI04_01 between November 01, 2018 and December 31, 2018.

comment=Data quality: Data quality is compromised for frequencies less than 100 Hz from 2018-11-28 to 2018-12-30. Recorded received level gradually decreases after 2018-11-28 for frequencies below 100 Hz. This drift is caused by changes in hydrophone sensitivity.

history=All acoustic data were processed using the Explosion Detector within Triton. The detector is based on a cross-correlation of the recording with a template explosion. The detector divides the recording into sections of 75 s, which are analyzed sequentially. The output of the detector is a series of .mat files, that can be read into GPLReview to evaluate. The detector needs audio files with a sample rate of 12 kHz, so decimation of the original wav file (possible in Triton) is required if the sample rate is higher. The default settings of the parameters generally work well for most explosive sounds. The following parameters are used by the Explosion Detector: Threshold Offset: Offset that is added to the median square of correlation coefficient to calculate the threshold. Minimum Time Distance (s): minimum time distance between consecutive explosions. Noise Samples: number of noise samples before and after the signal to be pulled out. RMS Noise Before Signal (dB): Threshold for the minimum difference in root-mean-square sound pressure level between the signal and the time before the detection. RMS Noise After Signal (dB): Threshold for the minimum difference in root-mean-square sound pressure level between the signal and the time after the detection. PP Noise Before Signal (dB): Threshold for the minimum difference in peak-to-peak sound pressure level between the signal and the time before the detection. PP Noise After Signal (dB): Threshold for the minimum difference in peak-to-peak sound pressure level between the signal and the time after the detection. Maximum Explosion Duration (s). Minimum Explosion Duration (s). Data were processed with Triton - Soundscape Metrics Remora (Github commit '44f0f20'; Feb 9, 2020) and Matlab (2016b and newer; statistics toolbox).

国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）与美国海军携手合作，旨在深化对美国国家海洋保护区系统内水下声波的认知。自2018年至2021年，这些机构将与众多科学合作伙伴一道，对七个国家海洋保护区及一个海洋国家纪念地内的声波进行深入研究，这些区域包括夏威夷群岛以及美国东西海岸的海域。标准化的测量将评估海洋生物、物理过程（例如风浪）以及人类活动产生的声波。综合这些信息，将有助于NOAA和海军测量保护区内的声级和声学基线条件。这项工作是对海军和NOAA持续研究工作的延续，包括国家海洋保护区办公室所开展的努力。本数据集代表了存储在国家海洋和大气管理局国家环境信息中心的原始声学数据派生产品。
