attribute	NC_GLOBAL	history	String	Pressure spectral density (PSD) levels in units of 1 µPa^2/Hz were calculated using Welch's Method in Matlab (FFT length = 48000 points, Hann window length = 48000, FFT overlap = 0%), resulting in PSD estimates of mean-square pressure amplitude (µPa^2) with a frequency resolution of 1 Hz and temporal resolution of 1 second. For every 1-Hertz (Hz) frequency band from 20 Hz to 24,000 Hz, PSD levels per hour were calculated as the arithmetic mean of mean-square pressure amplitude (µPa^2) over an averaging window of 3600 seconds. PSD levels per hour for each frequency band were converted to decibels (dB re 1 µPa^2/Hz). Created from file SanctSound_CI01_01_PSD_1h.csv

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	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 (https://www.navymarinespeciesmonitoring.us) and NOAA (https://cetsound.noaa.gov/ons) monitoring and research, including efforts by NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/science/sentinel-site-program/noise.html). This dataset represents the derived products from the raw acoustic data that are archived at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (https://ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/pad/)
