Octave Band Sound Pressure Levels at 1 Hour Resolution Recorded at SanctSound Site SB02_17

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 08:40 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 15, 2023 at 12:00 AM
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 11 octave bands with the center frequencies ranging from 16 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 SB02_17 between July 27, 2021 and September 25, 2021.
