The Australian SuperSite Network (SuperSites) provides the research community with national scale acoustic sensor data collected at each SuperSite. Acoustic sensors are configured to record for 12 hours per day (6 hours around dawn and 6 hours around dusk). This data package contains acoustic sensor data recorded from within the vicinity of the Core 1 hectare at the TERN SEQ Peri-urban SuperSite at the Karawatha Forest Park, Brisbane. Data is in WAV format recorded at 24,000 Hz in stereo.

Wildlife Acoustics Songmeter SM3 acoustic sensors were configured to record continuously at 24,000Hz in WAV format. Sensors were powered using external solar power and 12v deep cycle batteries. The acoustic sensor is configured to record for 12 hours per day (6 hours around dawn and 6 hours around dusk). The acoustic sensor adjusts itself to record at the correct time (relative to sunset and sunrise) throughout the year using the GPS coordinates of the site.
