UK Marine Noise Registry raw data publication January 2021

Abstract

A copy of all data held in the Marine Noise Registry (MNR) database, other than personal data, along with permission to re-use the data provided. When using and/or interpreting the MNR output maps and spatial data, users should take into account the caveats in the enclosed document MNR_datacaveats_2021Jan.docx and refer to the data dictionary, data_dictionary_MNR_RawData_2021Jan.xlsx. Noise events are described in pulse block days (PBD), using the UK oil and gas licensing grid, which consists of a series of blocks measuring 10 minutes latitude by 12 minutes longitude. A PBD is when at least one noise event (between the frequencies of 10 Hz and 10 kHz, multibeam echosounders up to 12 kHz) has occurred within a block on a particular day.
