CIBRA Center for Bioacoustics, Univ. of Pavia, organizes research cruises in the Med sea since 1994. Visual and acoustic contacts (1994 - 2001) are available on OBIS-SEAMAP, while acoustic recordings are stored in our Sound library and available upon request.Data were collected during cetacean research campaigns, acoustic software and hardware development campaigns.Tracks of the cruises are coarse in June and Sept 1994, June 1995. From 1996 on, tracks are finer.
Data from acoustic contacts are registered in a separate dataset "<a href='http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/1114' target='_blank'>Acoustic detections from research cruises in the Med sea, 1994-2001</a>".1994061720010711ground conditionNone plannedMediterranean sea7.237518.30722243.92833337.686111
