| Abstract: |
| |
| This data package includes metadata only for the audio files from The Loon Project (http://www1.chapman.edu/~wpiper/index.html). This metadata includes contextual information including the location and date of the recording, and any identifiers associated with the observed loon. To download the audio files associated with this metadata, go to eCommons@Cornell: The Loon Project Datasets, located at this URL: http://hdl.handle.net/1813/13095. Each entry in eCommons contains all of the audio files for a particular year, in one or more zip files. Each zip file is structured so that when it is uncompressed, audio files will be found in the directory structure indicated by the data table located in this data package. |
