Inventory of bottom-moored Environmental Acoustic Recording System (EARS) passive acoustic data collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2016-09-10 to 2017-03-15

One bottom-moored Environmental Acoustic Recording System (EARS) buoy was deployed in 1500 m of water at 28 degrees 27.71', -88 degrees 36.30' from 2016-09-10 to 2017-05-08. The buoy consists of two hydrophones that record onto two paired, single-channel EARS recording systems sampling at 192 kHz each stored in 16-bit proprietary binary format. Due to the limitation of hard drive space, the buoy recorded from the time of deployment (Sept 10, 2016) until March 15th. One buoy was recovered on 2017-05-08 with four disks containing raw acoustic data, but one disk was corrupted. This dataset contains an inventory of the raw acoustic files. To request the raw acoustic files, please contact Dr. Natalia Sidorovskaia at [e-mail] with specific buoy/file information from the data inventory.
