Abstract

Matlab R2016 was used to process acoustic data from raw wave audio files. Mean power spectral densities were estimated (Hamming window, non-overlapping 0.5-sec windows, frequency resolution: 1.47 Hz) within 1-minute samples across the total experiment length (62 hours).

This dataset contains audio files and mean power spectral densities (PSD).  See the "Data Files" section to download files by site.
