KOMBI 003 2021 Long-term Passive Acoustic Data

Created 28/09/2025

Updated 28/09/2025

This dataset contains long-term passive acoustic data (i.e. underwater sound recordings) collected from Krill Observational Mooring for Benthic Investigations (KOMBI) seafloor lander platforms and Mooring for Epipelagic Echo-sounding of Krill (MEEK) platforms. In 2021 an AAD Moored Acoustic Recorder was integrated into each of the three KOMBIs deployed during the TEMPO voyage. MARs contained a factory calibrated HTI hydrophone and AAD-calibrated electronics that recorded continuously producing hour-long wav files at 12 kHz sample rate 16-bit depth. The start date and time of each recording is embedded in the file name of each wav file (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd_HH-MM-SS). Passive acoustic recorders recorded low and mid-frequency sounds that may be used for investigation of physical environment (e.g. ice, wind, waves, earth), biological environment (e.g. animal vocalisations and sounds) and anthropogenic noise (e.g. sounds produced by ships, construction, and other human activities).
