Description

Introduction to the dataset: 

In this manuscript, we analyse recordings of brown long-eared bats in the wild collected with a 4-microphone array, which we use to measure the distance between the bat and the microphone.
The distance is then used to correct the recordings for distance-dependent frequency and amplitude attenuation.
To ensure that our measurements and corrections are correct, we fully calibrated the microphone array and analysis set-up. 
The calibration includes a comparison between real distances and calculated distances between a loudspeaker and the microphone array as well as comparisons between the real amplitude and the calculated amplitude of the loudspeaker.
To obtain the original amplitude of the calibration recording, we calibrated the loudspeaker as well

In this folder, we provide the original bat recordings as well as the datasheet with all analysed call measurements, and the original data from the microphone calibration.

DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

Folder list: 
    - Bat data: folder containing the original Plecotus recordings and raw call parameters
    - Calibration data : folder containing the array calibration raw data, as well as codes and recordings necessary to calibrate the loudspeaker.
