Professor Stuart Gage, Michigan State University Envirosonics Lab,
has been monitoring 24 hrs/da for months at a time in just the manner
you are looking for, Scott. His web site is http://www.cevl.msu.edu
Dr. Gage and I headed a 1 year biophony study of Sequoia National
Park 2001-2002. Although we didn't use that type of protocol, his has
been in operation to evaluate the Muskegon Watershed in western
Michigan.
He has plenty of information on that subject. Also re analysis of the data.
