NOAA-Navy Sanctuary Soundscape Monitoring Project, Octave Sound Pressure Levels, Monterey Bay, SanctSound_MB01_05_OL_1h

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 octave band sound pressure levels (OLs) derived from raw passive acoustic data. OLs were calculated by integration of sound pressure spectral density estimates of the mean-square pressure with a 1 Hz/1 second resolution over 10 octave bands with the center frequencies ranging from 31.5 to 16,000 Hz. The result is then calculated per hour as a median over no less than 1,800 1-second values for that hour and converted to decibels (dB re 1 µPa). These data were recorded at SanctSound Site MB01_05 between April 17, 2020 and August 21, 2020.

history=Octave band sound pressure levels (OLs) in units of µPa^2 were calculated by integration of sound pressure spectral density (PSD) estimates of the mean-square pressure (µPa^2) with a 1 Hertz (Hz)/1 second resolution over each of 10 octave bands (ISO266-1997) with the center frequencies ranging from 31.5 to 16,000 Hz. The resulting OLs with 1 second resolution were then used to calculate hourly OLs as a median over no less than 1,800 1-second values for that hour. The OLs per hour were converted to decibels (dB re 1 µPa). Data were processed with Triton - Soundscape Metrics Remora (Github commit '44f0f20'; Feb 9, 2020) and Matlab (2016b and newer; statistics toolbox).

国家海洋与大气管理局（NOAA）与美国海军携手努力，旨在深入探究美国国家海洋保护区系统内的水下声学环境。自2018年至2021年，这两家机构将与众多科学合作伙伴合作，对七个国家海洋保护区及一个海洋国家纪念地内的声学进行深入研究，这些区域包括夏威夷岛以及东、西海岸的海域。通过对海洋动物、物理过程（例如风浪）以及人类活动产生的声音进行标准化测量，收集到的信息将有助于NOAA和海军对保护区内的声级和声学基础条件进行评估。此项研究是海军和NOAA持续研究工作的延续，包括国家海洋保护区办公室的努力。该数据集代表了NOAA国家环境信息中心存档的原始声学数据派生产品。
