This report summarizes characteristics of selected Arctic acoustic transients. Acoustic sources are divided into biological (living animals) and physical (ice-related) categories. Acoustic characteristics include time series, spectrograms and sonograms. Also included are supporting environmental and biological data. Keywords: Underice acoustics; Marine biological noise; Bioacoustics; Ambient noise; Acoustic data; Underwater acoustics; Ice; Marginal ice zones; Arctic regions.
