Long-finned pilot whales are very large and robust dolphins with an average body length of 6.7 m for males and 5.7 m for females. A low bushy blow is often visible and quite audible when in close proximity to the animals.The head is bulbous, with a very short and poorly defined beak.The bulbous melon is quite prominent in males and may overhang the beak. The dorsal fin is located slightly before the half-way point along the animal’s back and is large, with a very broad base and rounded at the tip. The pectoral fins are long,sickle-shaped and pointed at the tip. Long-finned pilot whales are black in colour with a white anchor-shaped throat patch and white belly patch. Some animals display a paler grey saddle patch behind the dorsal fin. Calves are lighter in colour and often appear to have a brown tinge. Long-finned pilot whales can be very active at the surface and commonly breach, tail slap and spy-hop. The data collected includes observations, relative abundance, search for and range of Pilot Whale (Globicephala melas) recorded from marine mammals observations on board ships of opportunity between 2005 and 2011.

Common dolphins are Irelands most widespread and abundant dolphin species.They have an average body length: of 1.7 – 2.6 m.The beak, and back are dark brown to black, and the underbelly is white. The front flank patches are yellow and the rear flanks and the sides of the tailstock are streaked light grey. These features give a distinctive hourglass pattern on the sides, below the dorsal fin.The eye is surrounded by black, and a narrow stripe runs forward to the melon.Another dark stripe runs from beak to flipper and several beak-to-anus stripes may also be visible. A falcate dorsal fin is located mid-way along the back.The general body shape is sleek with the head having a prominent black beak. Common dolphins often approach vessels to bow ride and frequently breach clear of the water. Melanism is sometimes seen in this species, with elanistic animals lacking yellow pigmentation, which is replaced with black. The data collected includes observations, relative abundance, search for and range of Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) recorded from marine mammals observations on board ships of opportunity between 2005 and 2011.

The aerial laser scanning (ALS) dataset, acquired on October 2004, covers the experimental station Paracou in French Guiyana. More precisely, the dataset covers all Paracou plots totally except of plot 15 that is only covered partly. The area includes exploited and non-exploited forest and Pinot palm. Ground echoes are available as well as a digital terrain model (DTM), a digital surface model (DSM) , and a digital canopy model (DCM) with a 1 meter resolution.

Data indicating the level of noise according to the strategic noise mapping of major rail sources within areas with a population of at least 100,000 people (agglomerations) and along Network Rail routes with more than 60,000 train passages per year. Lden indicates a 24 hour annual average noise level with separate weightings for the evening and night periods. This data is a product of the strategic noise mapping analysis undertaken to meet the requirements of the Environmental Noise Directive (Directive 2002/49/EC).
