Notes for the entire deployment:

Date/time (local)Notes
12/16/25 17:32:24Long tonals in p1, 6, and 7 are very likely humpback social sounds, but not 100% sure.
12/16/25 17:47:24Long loud downsweep in p5 suggests humpback, but that's the only call. Scoring as not detected for HW.
12/16/25 18:32:24Lots of loud song.
12/16/25 19:17:24More loud song.
12/17/25 03:17:24Perhaps faint HW song in p12-13, but not enough to say possibly detected.
12/17/25 22:47:24Very probably humpback tonals in p5, but not enough to be sure.
12/18/25 00:17:24Nice example of humpback song.
12/18/25 01:32:243 fin whale calls with IPI around 9 seconds in p7 - not enough to be convinced.
12/18/25 02:32:24Beautiful HW song
12/18/25 04:32:244 FW calls with 9-10 second IPI in p9. Just meets criterion for detected.
12/18/25 06:32:24Faint HW in p4-5, but not 100% convincing. FW IPI around 10-11 seconds in p7-10.
12/18/25 09:17:24Nice fin whale pulse train.
12/18/25 12:32:24p9 has good IPI for fins.
12/18/25 13:32:24p5 consistent IPI
12/18/25 14:17:24Maybe HW in p8-9?
12/18/25 16:17:24p3 fin calls, but not enough. Maybe HW calls in p13?
12/18/25 17:17:24Lots of classified fin calls, but hard to find a pattern.
12/18/25 20:17:24Dicey for both HW and FW - nothing very convincing.
12/18/25 21:16:39Beautiful HW tonals!
12/18/25 22:17:24Maybe HW tonals in p14-16?
12/18/25 22:32:24Perhaps 2 loud HW upsweeps in p13, but not enough to say possible.
12/19/25 01:17:24FW consistent IPI in p2-3.
12/19/25 04:17:24HW social sounds in p1-2, 8-9
12/19/25 05:02:24In p3, there are faint possible HW social sounds, and several FW-like 20-Hz pulses with good IPI, but unclassified.
12/19/25 05:32:24Both sets of 20-Hz pulses in p4 have good and consistent IPI.
12/19/25 06:17:24Possible HW sounds in p8, but not enough to score as possible.
12/19/25 07:17:24CW started analysis here. Consistent IPI and 4+ consecutive pulses for at least one of the pulse trains in p14, so met criteria for detected there. Likely more than one singer.
12/19/25 07:32:24Analyzed by CW. P1 + 8 reach the 4 consecutive with consistent IPI rule for fin detection.
12/19/25 08:17:24Analyzed by CW. Lots of classified fin with consistent IPI. P4+5 have some lower moans/downsweeps in between pulses.
12/19/25 09:09:31Analyzed by CW. P3 has two classified fin calls but not good enough interval to mark this as possible.
12/19/25 09:32:24Analyzed by CW. Lots of fin in the grayed out boxes at end, but not enough pulses outside of gray to mark as possible or detected.
12/19/25 09:47:24CW. Lots of classified fin, with consistent IPI. Looks like multiple singers present.
12/19/25 10:02:24CW. 4+ classified fin with consistent IPI in 8+9. Possibly multiple singers.
12/19/25 10:17:24CW. 4+ consecutive classified fin with consistent IPI in 11-13, 15-16. Looks like multiple singers.
12/19/25 10:32:24CW. Panels 3+4 have 4+ consecutive classified pulses with good IPI.
12/19/25 11:17:24CW. 4+ consecutive classified fin with clear, consistent IPI in 1 + 4. Lots of other pulses with less consistent intervals throughout; likely multiple singers.
12/19/25 11:25:10CW. P3+4 don't quite meet the 4 consecutive rule due to gaps in the pulse trains, so leaving as possibly.
12/19/25 12:17:24CW. Few instances of 4+ consecutive classified pulses with consistent IPI. Possibly multiple singers.
12/19/25 13:47:24CW. P7-10 lots of classified and consecutive pulses with good IPIs; likely multiple singers in p8 to account for small intervals between those pulses. PH secondary review. Fin whale not marked as detected but comments say detected and I agree. I changed it to detected on 12/20/25.
12/19/25 13:53:25CW. P1 good pulse train.
12/19/25 14:17:24Potentially Mn calls, but no structure or patterns present. PH secondary reviewer. Recommended change to "not detected" for fin whale. Only 2 pulses in a pattern in P9 and P10, no constant IPI. There are more fin whale pulses in gray boxes. Don't want to double count.
12/19/25 15:17:24Potentially humpback with missed calls due to lower RL.
12/19/25 15:32:24PH secondary reviewer. There is a possible RW upcall in P4, only call in summary, unclassified and faint so not convincing enough.
12/19/25 17:32:24PH secondary reviewer. P12 has 3 patterned pulses in appropriate IPI, there are more in gray boxes. I would mark as "possibly detected" for fin whale.
12/19/25 20:47:24likely fin whales present but does not fill criteria for possibly detected.
12/19/25 21:25:53A bit tricky here. There looks to be a fair amount of noise mixed in and the fin whale calls are not consistent through the recording period.
12/19/25 22:17:24Likely humpback whales present. Fin whale calls begin here and go into next time period. PH secondary reviewer. Only 1 classified fin whale, I would mark as "possibly detected" for fin whale.
12/19/25 22:47:24potential sei whale call fits into humpback song rhythm
12/19/25 23:02:24A bit noisy / higher SNR, hard to determine if humpback whale present.
12/19/25 23:17:24Humpback calls begin here and go until next time period
12/20/25 00:02:24Likely humpback in low SNR.
12/20/25 01:17:24Likely not a humpback call or very low SNR.
12/20/25 02:02:24PH second reviewer. IPI for fin whale is dicey for P3, and only 3 in pattern in P4. I would change to "possibly detected."
12/20/25 02:32:24Probable NARW calls. Some unclassified. Classified ones may be artifacts. NARW calls do not fit in with the rhythm of humpback whale song here, but similar in amplitude.
12/20/25 03:17:24Some potential unclassified upcalls at low SNR
12/20/25 03:32:24More potential unclassied upcalls / moans
12/20/25 04:32:24Pretty convoluted humpback whale song. If NARW present, very hard to differentiate, and very low SNR
12/20/25 04:47:24No pattern/rhythm in humpback whale calls. Noisy, low SNR data.
12/20/25 05:47:24Odd downsweeps in the beginning.
12/20/25 07:02:24PH second reviewer. Fin whale only 3 in a pattern, IPI are not constant. I would classify as "possibly detected."
12/20/25 09:32:24two possible humpback calls, one with a harmonic.
12/20/25 12:47:24Likely humpback present, but calls inconsistent, low SNR, and unpatterned.
12/20/25 14:32:24Possible upcalls. PH second reviewer. RW unclassified upcalls in P9, P11 and P12.
12/20/25 15:32:24Likely the humpback/NARW detections are noise / artifacts. Needs additional review. PH left off as second reviewer here.
12/20/25 15:47:24Needs additional review.
12/20/25 16:17:24Likely humpbacks present, but low SNR makes it hard to tell.
12/20/25 18:02:24Messy data here. Needs additional review
12/20/25 18:32:24Humpback calls need additional review
12/20/25 19:17:24Likely not an upcall, or a humpback, but could use additional review.
12/20/25 22:32:24Poss upcalls not following rhythm of humpback whale calls/song
12/21/25 01:32:24Liklely not a sei whale, but possible.
12/21/25 02:32:24Likely not right whale, needs further review
12/21/25 04:32:24Needs review. Lots of potential upcalls/moans, but tons of other humpback whale calls happening at the same time.
12/21/25 08:02:24some random low SNR upcalls.
12/21/25 09:17:24Likely not a sei whale.
12/21/25 14:47:24Likely not a NARW, but uncertain. P7 also has a potential low freq component of an upcall. Not putting as possible for now.
