Sei whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
10/09/15 07:13:31Detected42.8726-65.1458Great, loud doublet with both classified. This makes me suspect the previous was probably sei, but I'll try to stay objective.
10/09/15 14:58:31Possibly detected42.8499-65.1049Sei: 3 singlets, 1 classified sei and 1 humpback. Enough for possible
10/09/15 17:58:31Possibly detected42.8659-65.1335Right: 1 classified, but poor shape and faint. Several other candidates, but none are particularly shapely or convincing. Also have strange amplitude distributions. Sei: 1 classified loud shapely singlet in p6. Enough for possible. Check spectrogram.


Right whale:

10/09/15 18:58:31Possibly detected42.8759-65.1543Right: Beautiful classified upcall in p5. Convincing but not quite enough for detected Sei: possible singlet in p13. Not enough for possible


Humpback whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
10/09/15 06:58:31Possibly detected42.8733-65.14881 classified sei downsweep in p10, but also 2 unknown HF downsweeps that could be humpback. If there's a humpback around I'm not as confident in the sei detection. This is borderline, but the presence of multiple HF calls pushes me to humpback vs sei whale. Check spectrogram.




Notes:

10/09/15 03:58:3142.8533-65.1346Strange noise process in p4-5. Check spectrogram
