Abstract
The datasets in this article are associated with the research article ‘Assessing biological and environmental effects of a total solar eclipse with passive multimodal technologies’ (Brinley Buckley et al., 2018). We documented biotic and abiotic changes during a total solar eclipse on 21 August 2017, in south-central Nebraska, USA, with a multimodal suite of tools, including time-lapse camera systems, data loggers, and sound recording devices. Time-lapse images were used to approximate changes in light, data loggers were used to record temperature and humidity, and sound recordings were used to calculate acoustic indices characterizing variation in the soundscape, as well as to manually identify and estimate avian vocalization activity.
Highlights
The datasets in this article are associated with the research article ‘Assessing biological and environmental effects of a total solar eclipse with passive multimodal technologies’ (Brinley Buckley et al, 2018)
Ecology Total solar eclipse, soundscape, image-analysis, animal response, passive monitoring Light measurements, acoustic indices, avian activity, temperature, humidity Time-lapse camera systems, acoustic recording devices, data-loggers Excel file, raw, analyzed Data were collected at several study locations before, during, and after a total solar eclipse Continuous passive monitoring of visual, sonic, and atmospheric changes
Data can be used to study changes in photic conditions and how animals reacted to rapid environmental changes
Summary
Environmental variables recorded during a total solar eclipse at two sites. Light value (LV) is a proxy for sunlight illumination on the landscape. These variables were collected at one-minute intervals
