2- Environment Description:
A brief description of the 6 environments in which the dataset was collected is presented here:
(i) Soundproof room: a small room (nearly 1.5m × 1.5m × 2m), which is closed and completely isolated. With an exception of a small window in the front side of the room which is made of glass, all the walls of the room are made of wood and covered by a layer of sponge from the inner side, and the floor is covered by carpet.
(ii) Class room: standard class room (6m × 5m × 3m).
(iii) Lab: small lab (4m × 4m × 3m). All the walls are made of glasses and the floor is covered by carpet. The lab contains 9 computers.
(iv) Stairs: is in the second floor. The place of recording is 3m × 5m
(v) Parking: is the college parking.
(vi) Garden: is an open space outside the buildings.
3- Naming Convention:
This set of rules were followed as a naming convention to give each file in the dataset a unique name:
(i) The file name is 19 characters long, and consists of 5 sections separated by underscores.
(ii) The first section is of 3 characters indicates the Microphone trademark.
(iii) The second section of 4 characters indicates the microphone model as in table (2).
(iv) The third section of 2 characters indicates a specific microphone within a set of microphones of the same trademark and model, since we have more than one microphone of the same trademark and model.
(v) The fourth section of 2 characters indicates the environment, where
Soundproof room --> 01
Class room --> 02
Lab --> 03
Stairs --> 04
Parking --> 05
Garden --> 06
(vi) The fifth section of 2 characters indicates the language, where
Arabic --> 01
English --> 02
Chinese --> 03
Indonesian --> 04
(vii) The sixth section of 2 characters indicates the speaker.
Table 2: Microphones Naming Criteria
Original Mic Trademark and model --> Naming Convenient
Shure SM-58 --> SHU_0058
Electro-Voice RE-20 --> ELE_0020
Sennheiser MD-421 --> SEN_0421
AKG C 451 --> AKG_0451
AKG C 3000 B --> AKG_3000
Neumann KM184 --> NEU_0184
Coles 4038 --> COL_4038
The t.bone MB88U --> TBO_0088
For example: SEN_0421_02_01_02_03 is an English file recorded by speaker number 3 in the soundproof room using microphone number 2 of Sennheiser MD-421

This collection represents various raw data and analysis of cores extracted during the January 2009 mission of the research vessel Sproul in the Santa Barbara Basin., Cores included: box core SPR0901-04BC, box core SPR0901-unnamed, and Kasten core SPR0901-03KC. Core photos, physical properties and magnetic susceptibility from the multisensor track (MST), and the scanning X-ray fluorescence (XRF) data are included in the collection., and Cruise DOI: 10.7284/901089
This research is funded by NSF-OCE 0752093.
This collection contains estimates of the water balance of the Laurentian Great Lakes that were produced by the Large Lakes Statistical Water Balance Model (L2SWBM). Each data set has a different configuration and was used as the supplementary for a published peer-reviewed article (see "Citations to related material" section in the metadata of individual data sets). The key variables that were estimated by the L2SWBM are (1) over-lake precipitation, (2) over-lake evaporation, (3) lateral runoff, (4) connecting-channel outflows, (5) diversions, and (6) predictive changes in lake storage. and Contact: Andrew Gronewold
