Description
Summary:Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) data were collected by the Perennial Acoustic Observatory in the Antarctic Ocean (PALAOA) near Neumayer Station III at 70.5028° S, 8.2057° W, on the Ekström ice shelf, Antarctica. This long-term observatory was set up in 2005 (Kindermann et al. 2007, hdl:10013/epic.30936.d001). After modifications of the hardware setup in December 2014, PALAOA collected passive acoustic data using a Sono.Vault recorder (manufactured by develogic GmbH, Hamburg, Germany). From 01 January 2022 to 27 February 2022, PALAOA recorded continuously at a sample rate of 96 kHz, at 155 m depth. Recording ended due to the breakoff of part of the ice shelf in February 2022, which damaged the recording hardware (see also Report on Expedition PS129, https://doi.org/10.57738/BzPM_0776_2023). Further details about the data acquisition and processing of this data set can be found in the accompanying metadata file (see Additional metadata) as well as the data processing report (see Data Processing Report). ... : Each daily .tar contains the 10-minute audio files (.wav format) collected during the respective day. Please note that this data set may also be listed as NM3-2022_PALAOA_1 at other data portals, such as the Open Portal to Underwater Soundscapes (OPUS), available at https://opus.aq. ...
