Popis: | Underwater sound in the oceans has been significantly rising in the past decades due to an increase in human activities, adversely affecting the marine environment. In order to assess and limit the impact of underwater noise, the European Commission’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) included the long-term monitoring of low-frequency underwater sound as a relevant indicator to achieve a good environmental status. There is a wide range of commercial hydrophones and observing platforms able to perform such measurements. However, heterogeneity and lack of standardization in both hydrophones and observing platforms makes the integration and data management tasks time-consuming and error-prone. Moreover, their power and communications constraints need to be addressed to make them suitable for long-term ocean sound monitoring. Measured underwater sound levels are challenging to compare because different measurement methodologies are used, leading to a risk of misunderstandings and data misinterpretation. Furthermore, the exact methodology applied is not always public or accessible, significantly reducing ocean sound data re-usability. Within this work, a universal architecture for ocean sound measurement is presented, addressing hydrophone integration, real-time in situ processing and data management challenges. Emphasis is placed on generic and re-usable components, so it can be seamlessly replicated and deployed in new scenarios regardless of the underlying hardware and software constraints (hydrophone model, observing platform, operating system, etc.). Within the proposed architecture, a generic implementation of an underwater sound algorithm based on underwater noise measurement best practices is provided. Standardized and coherent metadata with emphasis on strong semantics is discussed, providing the building blocks for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) ocean sound data management.
