Inventory of bottom-moored Environmental Acoustic Recording System (EARS) passive acoustic data collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2017-06-09 to 2017-10-05

Two bottom-moored Environmental Acoustic Recording System (EARS) buoys were deployed between 2017-06-08 to 2017-06-17 and recovered between 2017-10-12 to 2017-10-15. The buoys consisted of two hydrophones recording onto two paired, single-channel EARS recording systems sampling at 192 kHz each, stored in 16-bit proprietary binary format. Five buoys were recovered in October, with up to four disks each, containing raw acoustic data, but some disks were corrupted. This dataset contains an inventory of the raw acoustic files, including a complete catalog of individual files and a description of mooring location and data return. To request the raw acoustic files, please contact Dr. Natalia Sidorovskaia at [e-mail] with specific buoy/file information from the data inventory.
