Title

Airport Noise Contours Lden Round 1

Abstract

Data indicating the level of noise according to the strategic noise mapping of airport sources within areas with a population of at least 250,000 people (agglomerations) and airports with more than 50,000 (fifty thousand) air traffic movements 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).

Lineage

Noise grids were provided by the British Aviation Authority (BAA) for Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen airports. The noise grid rasters were processed in ArcGIS to create noise levels based on Lden classes.
