Noise Round 3 Airport (Lnight)
Polygon dataset providing strategic noise mapping for airports serving the Dublin and Cork agglomerations, published by Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency. It contains noise contours for the Lnight (night-time) period, with each polygon's decibel value representing the average night-time noise level. The data forms part of Round 3 of the strategic noise mapping exercise; the publisher notes that direct comparisons between Round 3 and earlier rounds should be made with caution due to methodological differences. Useful for assessing night-time aircraft noise exposure around these airports.This is a polygon dataset of the strategic noise mapping of airports, in the form of noise contours for the Lnight (night) period for Dublin and Cork agglomerations airports. The dB value represents the average decibel value during the Lnight time. Any direct comparison of the Round 3 versus Roun...
