LifeWatch observatory data: permanent Cetacean passive acoustic sensor network in the Belgian part of the North Sea

Dataset homepage

Citation

Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), Belgium; (2021): LifeWatch observatory data: permanent Cetacean passive acoustic sensor network in the Belgian part of the North Sea. Marine Data Archive. https://dx.doi.org/10.14284/447 accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-03-28.

Description

As part of the Belgian LifeWatch observatory, a permanent Cetacean passive acoustic network is established in the Belgian Part of the North Sea. The sensor network uses C-PODs (Chelonia Limited) to register the presence of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the neighbourhood. Click trains of harbour porpoises are detected and classified using the CPOD software and high and moderate quality click trains are selected.

The dataset is published yearly in the highest time resolution, per minute.
