Mount Rainier National Park: Acoustical monitoring report 2009
National Park Service. 2011. Mount Rainier National Park: Acoustical monitoring report 2009. Natural Resource Technical Report. NPS/NRSS/NRTR—2011/495. National Park Service, Natural Resource Stewardhip and Science. Fort Collins, Colorado
During the summer (July to September 2009), baseline acoustical data were collected for approximately one month at two sites deployed by National Park Service personnel in Mount Rainier National Park. The purpose of the monitoring effort was to supplement prior ambient data collected by National Park Service at six sites in 2006-2007. Results reported by National Park Service from the earlier effort are included in this report. The data will help park managers and planners estimate the effects of future noise impacts and will help to inform future park planning efforts such as a soundscape management plan, as well as the Air Tour Management Plan. This report provides a summary of results of both sets of measurements, representing Mount Rainier’s summer season.
