Right whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
09/02/25 11:34:41Possibly detected49.2338-63.8212Two classified upcalls in P14; although the first call is not convincing evidence of RW presence (low amplitude with a jagged pitch track), the second call has a better shape, and both are relatively isolated. Additional putative calls are in P15 & 16; although these are not the most shapely of calls, the additional context they provide lends support to possible RW presence. Possible RW tonal moan in P1.
09/02/25 11:49:41Possibly detected49.2338-63.8212Classified, mid-amplitude upcall in P6 that is isolated and has a nice 'checkmark' shape. Additional possible unclassified, low amplitude 'checkmark' call in P10.
09/02/25 16:49:41Detected49.2209-63.8012Nice, shapely, mid- to high-amplitude RW upcalls in P7, 8, & 9, three of which are classified.
09/02/25 17:04:41Detected49.2209-63.8012RW upcall bout in P1 & 2; while some calls are quite jagged, others have nicely shaped, mid-amplitude pitch tracks, several are classified, and there is no distinct pattern to their production.
09/02/25 17:49:41Possibly detected49.2210-63.8014Two classified upcalls in P16; although the first call is not convincing evidence of RW presence, the second call is classified, mid-amplitude, isolated, and has a fair shape and good duration.
09/02/25 18:49:41Possibly detected49.2211-63.8016Multiple upswept calls in P14, some low amplitude, some mid-amplitude; some classified as RW, some unclassified; some potentially patterned. Additional mid- frequency, frequency-modulated calls are present. This period could be attributable to RWs, but could also be HWs (social sounds - no evidence of song in this or surrounding periods), so scoring was conservative. Refer to a similar period off coastal NJ that was scored similarly by Julianne Wilder: https://dcs.whoi.edu/rutgers2407/rutgers2407_ru40_html/ptracks/2024_08/rutgers2407 _ru40_20240812201506.html
09/02/25 19:04:41Detected49.2211-63.8017RW upcall bout in P7; although these calls are low frequency, several have relatively nice shapes, one is classified, and there is no clear pattern in their production. The nearby noise in the same frequency band is glider self-noise due to its inflection at the top of a dive. An additional classified upcall is in P12, although it has a low amplitude and irregular shape.
09/02/25 20:49:41Detected49.2213-63.8021Probable RW upcalls in P11, 12, 14, & 15. Many of the potential upcalls have jagged pitch tracks, but due to the several RW classifications, upswept shapes, and relative isolation in the upcall frequency band, the contextual evidence provides convincing evidence of RW presence. Possible BW A calls in P2, 3, & 10; the calls in P2 & 3 have an INI = 70 seconds.
