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. Revision to Rept. no. NRL-MR-6408 dated 1 Aug 89.
