Data Archive

Local Data Archive

Local data storage is currently located in several different locations:

Digital Data Storage

Analog Data Storage

Public Repositories (in progress)

SAEL Github Organization is for new and recent repositories. NOAA Fisheries National PAM Network

Specific publicly accessible projects include:

NCEI Data Archive

NCEI hosts a Passive Acoustic Data Archive, where all ADRIFT, CCES, and PASCAL deployment metadata, raw audio data, and soundscape metrics are publicly available. CalCurCEAS 2024 raw audio data will be accessible in this archive once it has been cleared.

Users can access data through the interactive map or request data using Google Cloud Platform

See NCEI Data Archive section for more information and detailed archive methods

PACM, Makara

All ADRIFT, CCES, and PASCAL marine mammal detection data are archived and available on the Passive Acoustic Cetacean Map. Additional metadata will be uploaded as it is compiled and quality-checked.

This needs it’s own page

PACM Archive methods can be found here.

Tethys

All ADRIFT, PASCAL, CCES, and CalCurCEAS deployment metadata and detection data are archived locally in our lab’s Tethys database. Additional metadata will be uploaded as it is compiled and quality-checked.

See the Tethys section for detailed archive methods and more information.

InPort Metadata Archive

Per Fisheries Information Management and Data Documentation policy and procedural directives, all Fisheries data must be inventoried with complete metadata in InPort, our official metadata repository. PAM data is complicated, and there is no standard for posting metadata to InPort. Given that detailed metadata is archived to NCEI, SWFSC will post all data related to PAM Deployments/data collection efforts and ensure there is a link to access additional data/metadata via NCEI and PACM.

See InPort section for more information on accessing and submitting metadata.

OBIS Seamap

We are no longer storing marine mammal detection data in the OBIS database. OBIS specific processing scripts for beaked whales are available here.
