INFORE22 Acoustic data from SLim Towed Array (SLiTA)

Acoustic data stem from hydrophone array SLiTA (SLim Towed Array [*]) towed by marine robots during INFORE22 experiments on 28th February and 1st March 2022.  Two series of acquisitions are shared, one for each OEX.

Data have been generated during the INFORE22 sea trial, run by CMRE from 21st February to 1st March 2022 in the Gulf of La Spezia to experiment and validate the CMRE hybrid robotic network in support of the INFORE maritime use case [**]. See also https://zenodo.org/record/637272

Acoustic data are shared in binary format (.dat), and are complemented by Matlab scripts (.m)  and header textual descriptors (sliva-header-specification.2.x0.txt).  

The archive (ACOUSTIC.zip) is split in multiple (60) files of 650MB each, which can me joined/combined with archive software (e.g., 7zip).
