A set of underwater noise observations which provide information on noise levels over an 21 year period potentially setting a base line for future environmental monitoring. The data were collected for military operations by RAF Nimrod aircraft using air-deployed sonobuoys. They consist of averaged noise levels, measured in db, at a range of frequencies and depths throughout the UK Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | UK Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) Ambient Noise dataset from RAF Sonobuoys (1988-2009) |
Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | British Oceanographic Data Centre record 1048RAF_SONOBUOYS |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 4472dc1df9f65af394fba64febf7d481 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | EDMED5686 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1988-09-11 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-09-09 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | asNeeded |
Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | A set of underwater noise observations which provide information on noise levels over an 21 year period potentially setting a base line for future environmental monitoring. The data were collected for military operations by RAF Nimrod aircraft using air-deployed sonobuoys. They consist of averaged noise levels, measured in db, at a range of frequencies and depths throughout the UK Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). |
Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The data was collected by sonobuoys launched from RAF Nimrod Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA). Data is transmitted from the buoy and recorded onboard the aircraft. The values data-based are as recorded (at various depths) by the sensor and no further quality control has been completed. The data was collected for operational military purposes and as such does not constitute a scientifically assembled dataset. Instrument(s) used to collect data: hydrophones. |
