Notes for the entire deployment:

Date/time (local)Notes
10/08/26 13:07:14Noise
10/08/26 13:54:19Likely noise, although the two downsweeps in P3 are suspiciously similar to a sei whale doublet (but not convincing enough to call possible sei).
10/08/26 14:09:19Likely noise
10/08/26 14:24:19Likely noise
10/08/26 14:39:19Noise

10/08/26 15:54:19Noise
10/08/26 16:39:19Noise
10/08/26 16:54:19Humpback song in P1-P2 including NARW-like upsweeps
10/08/26 17:39:19Possible fin whale 20 Hz pulses in P1-P2; maybe P11 as well, though the INIs there are unusual and not very stable. The three downsweeps in P1 (two of which were autoclassified) provide enough evidence to call a definite sei whale detection.
10/08/26 17:54:19Confirmed sei whale downsweeps in P4, likely P5. Probably fin whale 20 Hz pulses in P6-P9, but only calling these possible because the INIs are unexpectedly large for this time of year and/or not very consistent. Likely humpback whale vocalizations in P8-P9 and maybe P10, though there is no clear pattern.
10/08/26 18:39:19Confirmed fin whale 20 Hz pulses in P10-P11, likely P8-P9 as well. The rest looks like noise.
10/08/26 19:39:19Confirmed fin whale 20 Hz pulses in P5 and P8, likely other panels as well. The rest of the contours largely look like noise, although there are two downsweeps in P10 that are slightly suspicious.
10/08/26 20:39:19Fin whale 20 Hz pulses, clearest in P1 and P4. There are several sweeping (but often short) contours in this period that could potentially be humpback whale vocalizations. Potentially a sei whale doublet in P10 and a single downsweep in P11.
10/08/26 21:39:19Fin whale 20 Hz pulse trains - can make out patterns at least in P1 and P3, with many other candidate pulses in other panels. Humpback whale vocalizations appear to be present, most clearly in P3-P5 and P7.
10/08/26 22:39:19Humpback song present, most notably in P1-P2. Possibly a sei whale doublet in P3, but being cautious due to humpback presence. Patterned fin whale 20 Hz pulse trains present in several panels.
10/08/26 23:39:19Fin whale 20 Hz pulse trains in P4 and P7. Possibly some humpback whale sweeps in P6, but there are many contours in this period that look like noise.
10/09/26 00:39:19Looks like a very noisy period, but there seem to be some legitimate humpback whale vocalizations among the noise - some of the contours in P1-P4 are clean up/downsweeps and appear semi-patterned. Possible NARW upcall in P3, but it could also be a humpback whale upsweep. Fin whale 20 Hz pulse trains are evident in P2- P3. Possibly a sei whale single downsweep in P3, but considering all the noise + humpback calls + the fact that it was autoclassified as a humpback whale downsweep, I don't think it qualifies for a possible sei whale detection.
10/09/26 05:39:19Humpback whale vocalizations in P1-P6, perhaps most obvious in P5.
10/09/26 06:39:19Humpback whale vocalizations, notably in P1-P2, likely P5, and P11-P12. Possible NARW upcall in P10, but only one, and it could potentially be a humpback whale call.
10/09/26 07:39:19Possible humpback whale vocalizations, but they are pretty faint. Fin whale 20 Hz pulse trains in P7 and P11.
10/09/26 07:54:19No clear evidence of cetacean vocalizations
10/09/26 08:09:19No clear evidence of cetacean vocalizations
10/09/26 08:39:19Possible humpback whale downsweeps in P3 (I think they are too high frequency and too far apart to be a sei whale doublet). Other contours are too faint and unstructured to be confident that they are anything other than noise.
10/09/26 08:54:19Likely just noise
10/09/26 09:39:19Fin whale 20 Hz pulse trains, notably in P1 and P4. Possibly some humpback whale vocalizations in P14.
10/09/26 09:54:19Fin whale 20 Hz pulse trains, notably in P13 and P15.
10/09/26 10:09:19Fin whale 20 Hz pulse trains in P1-P3
10/09/26 10:39:19Clear humpback whale vocalizations in P2, P5-P8, P11, and perhaps others. Fin whale 20 Hz pulses are also present: P2-P3 has a sequence of at least four autoclassified pulses.
10/09/26 10:41:27Likely just noise
