Subaquatic ambient seismic noise recordings acquired in the region of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada

This dataset contains subaquatic passive seismic recordings taken in September 2021 at 88 locations off Tuktoyaktuk Island as well as in a small lake (“Lake 3”) between the villages of Tuktoyaktuk and Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada. The measurements were part of the “Mackenzie Delta Permafrost Field Campaign” (mCan2021) within the “Modular Observation solutions for Earth Systems” (MOSES) program. Data is from a seismic intermediate-bandwidth seismic sensor lowered for few minutes to the bottom of the sea and lake, respectively, and from underwater short-period sensors deployed for a few days. The aim of the study was to determine the depth of the subaquatic permafrost (local lake and oceanic locations). Raw data is provided in proprietary “Cube” format and standard mseed format.
