Anthropogenic impulsive sound dataset in support of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Descriptor 11 (D11C01, 2018 Reporting)
This dataset is part of the 2018 Belgian submission for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) linked to descriptor 11, criterion 1. This dataset describes the impulsive noise generated during percussion pile emplacement for offshore wind farm construction and unexploded ordnance (UxO) explosions. Impulsive underwater sound (pressure) was measured during pile driving operations in Belgian waters, for different types of foundations (monopiles of different diameters, foundations of ducts with a smaller diameter) and hydraulic hammers with different energy powers. The results of measurements at Bligh Bank and Thornton Bank, with a resulting extrapolation of zero to peak noise level (Lz-p) at 750m and Sound Exposure Level (SEL) (no mitigation measures deployed), are presented (Norro et al., 2013).

This dataset is published in: Norro, Alain Michel Jules, Bob Rumes, and Steven Johan Degraer. "Differentiating between underwater construction noise of monopile and jacket foundations for offshore windmills: a case study from the Belgian part of the North Sea." The Scientific World Journal 2013 (2013). The geographical coordinates have been converted from WGS84 to ETRS89. The data is then dynamically made available through WFS and statically converted to an INSPIRE-compliant GML file.
