Abstract:
This dataset shows the hourly sound pressure magnitude data measured underwater throughout the 18 months of experiment (11th of May 2023 – 31st of August 2024) in Helgoland (Margate) for different frequencies (10 Hz, 20 Hz, 30 Hz, 40 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 70 Hz, 80 Hz, 90 Hz, 100 Hz, 200 Hz, 300Hz, 400 Hz, 500 Hz, 600 Hz, and 700 Hz) recorded by the HFNI valvometer. The mean sound pressure magnitude is also presented. Missing data corresponds to the stop of recording of the valvometer.
