Glacier Bay National Park Raw Audio Data

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 02, 2026 at 11:01 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 05, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Glacier Bay National Park is conducting underwater passive acoustic monitoring to characterize the underwater sound environment including weather generated sounds, biologics, and vessel noise, for the purpose of basic science as well as management applications. The data are collected using a calibrated ITC type 8215A broadband omnidirectional hydrophone with a nominal sensitivity -174 dB re 1 volt per 1 micropascal (Gavial ITC Inc., Santa Barbara, CA, USA) mounted on an anchoring tripod 1 m above the seafloor (30.2 m depth). A 5-mile cable runs from the hydrophone back to a computer at Park headquarters where automated samples are collected and real-time audio is broadcast on a speaker.
