Input of impulsive anthropogenic sound in Europe Seas, Jan. 2020

This raster dataset represents input of impulsive anthropogenic sound in Europe Seas. Impulsive sounds are typically brief with a rapid rise time, i.e. a great change in amplitude over a short period of time. The main anthropogenic sources of impulsive underwater noise are typically impact pile driving for inshore and offshore construction, seismic exploration with airguns, explosions and sonar systems.

The dataset was created by combining pulse-block-days (PBD) data from the ICES Registry (for HELCOM and OSPAR areas) and ACCOMBAS (for the Mediterranean Sea), resampled using the EEA 10 km grid. The dataset does not include the Black Sea. The temporal reference of this dataset is the period 2014-2016. The cell values have been transformed into a logarithmic scale (log10).

This dataset has been prepared for the calculation of the combined effect index, produced for the ETC/ICM Report 4/2019 "Multiple pressures and their combined effects in Europe's seas" available on: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-icm/etc-icm-report-4-2019-multiple-pressures-and-their-combined-effects-in-europes-seas-1.

Statement

The dataset was created using pulse-block-days data. The dataset covers HELCOM and OSPAR areas as well as the Mediterranean Sea. It does not include the Black Sea.

The dataset was created by combining pulse-block-days (PBD) data from the ICES Registry (for HELCOM and OSPAR areas) and ACCOMBAS (for the Mediterranean Sea).

The data available from the ICES register and the ACCOBAMS demonstrator pulse-block-days (PBD) indicator do not give exact locations of impulsive noise emitting activities being carried out (the data shows the number of activities per spatial grid cell of the grid they use).

These data layers were overlaid with the EEA 10 km grid, which means that information in the grid is not actual pulse-block-days. For example, if cell of the EEA grid has a PBD value of 200, it does not mean that there were 200 PBDs in that 10*10 km area, but that 200 PBDs were recorded in a larger area (ICES or ACCOBAMS grid cell) over which this 10*10 km area was overlaid.

The dataset is transformed to a logarithmic scale (log10).
