attribute	NC_GLOBAL	history	String	This record represents the broadband (BB) sound pressure levels (SPLs) derived from raw passive acoustic data. BB SPLs were calculated by integration of the sound pressure spectral density estimates of the mean-square pressure with a 1 Hz/1 second resolution over the frequency band of 20 to 24,000 Hz. The result is then calcuated per hour as a median over no less than 1800 1-second values for that hour and converted to decibels (dB re 1 µPa). Created from file SanctSound_SB02_05_BB_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/)
