Date/time (local)Notes
06/01/25 09:58:22interesting noises
06/01/25 10:13:22fish noise??
06/08/25 16:13:22interesting patterned noise in even panels
06/18/25 11:43:22low freq in this and last couple time periods
06/22/25 08:13:22P9-P12 have some faint up-calls that look biological
06/22/25 08:43:22more up-calls, possible humpback?
06/22/25 09:28:22lots of rhythmic up-sweeps, seems like humpback
06/22/25 10:13:22rhythmic up-sweeps P2-P9; possible HB
06/22/25 10:28:22a few more up-sweeps, but faint; possible HB
07/02/25 22:58:22p2 looks up callish but surrounded by noise
07/03/25 20:13:22weird noise
07/04/25 05:13:22nice little up-call in P5, but quiet and solitary
07/05/25 17:28:22up-call classification in P5, quiet and poor shape
07/18/25 08:13:22pile driving
07/18/25 19:58:22smaller groups of downsweeps? pile driving?
07/18/25 20:13:22yes?
07/20/25 11:13:22mechanical downsweeps
07/24/25 12:28:22interesting "downsweeps" throughout this period. Seems more mechanical than biological
07/27/25 23:58:22p10 - possibly humpbacks?
07/28/25 09:58:22Interesting noise pattern- P1-P4
08/01/25 15:13:22now it looks like just noise
08/16/25 22:43:22fw?
08/22/25 01:13:22up-call classification in P2 is poorly shaped and quiet
09/01/25 14:13:22looking kind of fin whale but the ipis arent the same throughout...
09/01/25 15:28:22hw??? or noise?
09/02/25 00:13:22Automated detections of Bp do not follow the regular 8-16s interval spacing. Mixed with background noise.
09/02/25 03:28:22Automated Mn classification is an artifact
09/02/25 03:43:22Automated Mn classification is an artifact
09/02/25 10:28:22Automated classification of Eg is just noise - mixed with background noise at that time point
09/02/25 19:28:22Bp classifications in P4 seem to be background noise.
09/03/25 09:43:22Eg classification (P6) appears to be composed of varied amplitudes connected by artifacts. Not an Eg call.
09/03/25 20:13:22Eg classifications (P6, P9) low amplitude, mostly artifacts. Not Eg calls
09/06/25 20:13:22persistent long, possibly-mechanical sounds
09/08/25 22:13:22lots of fin classifications, but not regularly spaced
09/10/25 21:58:22looks like sei single downsweeps, doublets, and triplets
09/10/25 22:13:22a few more sei-like downsweeps
09/18/25 06:58:22downsweep p6, not classified though
09/18/25 22:58:22interesting vertical noise
09/19/25 08:13:22pile driving??
09/19/25 09:13:22more noise maybe related to all the pile driving
09/21/25 16:13:22Inconsistent, long INI's for the many Bp classiications to be true detections
09/21/25 17:13:22Eg classification (P10) low amplitude and mostly artifact, just noise
09/21/25 18:13:22Many Bp classifications. Generally a lot of noise at Bp volcalization frequency. LFDCS classifications are inconsistently spaced for determining Bp presence
09/25/25 23:13:22long tones persist through panels for several time periods since 17:00, this pt has the loudest seen
09/26/25 05:13:22weird noise patterns
09/28/25 01:13:22arcs in P14 seem like part of that unusual minutes-long sweeping noise pattern we get sometimes
09/29/25 14:28:22pt 14 - noise or fins?
10/01/25 14:13:22p4 - fins or noise?
10/05/25 08:43:22interesting lf sound in p12
10/05/25 18:28:22interesting noise
10/05/25 19:58:22low sweeps maybe drums
10/08/25 18:28:22LFDCS Eg classification (P1) contains an artifact. Not a true vocalization
10/09/25 17:13:22Inconsistent INI for Bp automated classifications
10/09/25 22:13:22INI inconsistent and slightly shorter than required to be Bp call (P8)
10/10/25 06:43:22Bp classification (P9) too short of INI to be from whale
10/10/25 13:13:22Eg classification (P10) mostly artifact creating upsweep, not sourced from whale
10/10/25 13:43:22Eg classification (P1) composed of artifact, not sourced from whale
10/10/25 18:28:22Eg classification (P10) composed of artifact, not biological source
10/10/25 20:13:22Eg automated classification (P3) not of correct shape
10/10/25 22:13:22Eg classification (P9) mostly artifact, not from a whale
10/14/25 02:13:22more up and down noise
10/14/25 11:28:22up call detected in P7, but quiet with poor shape
10/15/25 10:13:22some interesting noise in P5, but I'm not convinced it's biological
10/15/25 18:13:22up-sweeps in P11 probably noise; down-sweeps in P15 and P16 are quiet, and surrounded by noise
10/15/25 22:28:22evenly spaced downs sweeps in P4 and P5, but super quiet
10/19/25 06:58:22p12 - possible rw upcall?
10/22/25 20:13:22Noisy
10/23/25 06:58:22intriguing sound panel 15
10/23/25 08:58:2220s ipi for some fw
10/23/25 16:28:22panel 8 and 9 seem decent for hw, but then it gets messy
10/26/25 03:13:22Eg automated detection (P3) not ideal shape or amplitude - not classified
10/26/25 11:13:22Eg automated detection (P7) composed of artifact and very faint. Not classified
10/27/25 19:28:22Eg automated detection (P12) mostly artifact and low amplitude - not likely from a whale
10/28/25 03:58:22Eg automated detection (P4) not of great shape, amplitude, and contains large artifact, not detected
10/31/25 20:13:22potential up-call in P9
11/01/25 03:13:22interesting down-sweep in P2
11/01/25 12:28:222 very shallow up-sweeps in P6
11/01/25 23:13:22I think this is more of the strange noise seen in the previous period, but it could possibly be HB?
11/02/25 03:13:22P12-P15 I think this is just more of the up-and-down noise
11/02/25 08:28:22a couple up-sweeps in P4 and P5, but lots of surrounding noise
11/02/25 17:28:22might be a fin in the next period?
11/02/25 17:43:22possible fin in P2? not enough evidence
11/07/25 21:28:22P6: possible unclassified RW up call
11/07/25 22:13:22RW detected - Classified upcalls: p4, p, 6, p12, p15 and unclassified upcalls throughout PTs
11/07/25 23:13:22RW PD: classified upcalls in P4 and P8
11/08/25 15:28:22P6: FW PD
11/10/25 00:13:22Interesting noise pattern- likely not biological
11/12/25 07:13:22noisy not going to say fw
11/13/25 13:28:22Eg automated classification (P15) mostly artifact, not detected
11/13/25 15:13:22Eg automated classification (P13) mostly artifact and low amplitude, not detected
11/14/25 03:13:22Only one, faint Eg classification. Not detected
11/15/25 11:13:221 automated Eg classification (P5) with correct shape and begins with high amplitude. Possibly detected.
11/15/25 15:13:22Automated Eg classification (P9) a part of background noise. Not detected.
11/16/25 00:43:22Eg classification of low amplitude and mostly artifact (P7). Not detected
11/16/25 15:58:22possible RW call in p7, lack of surrounding noise and the weak volume will leave it not detected
11/16/25 17:13:22another weak lonely RW upcall in p6
02/21/26 17:18:28noisy!
02/21/26 21:18:28short downsweeps in P3
02/21/26 22:48:28some higher freq pitch tracks in P7 and P9, but don't look biological
02/22/26 01:18:28more of the up-and-down noise around 600Hz. doesn't look biological
02/22/26 02:33:28possible fin, P15 and P16
02/22/26 07:33:28some fin pulses, but not enough for a 3+ pulse track
02/22/26 14:18:28fin pulses loud and long
02/22/26 15:18:28Bp detected with multiple calls (P2,5,7, 8, 11-13) of consistent, 15s INI
02/22/26 16:18:28Bp detected with calls throughout tally period
02/22/26 17:18:28Bp present, consistent calls early in tally period
02/22/26 18:18:28Bp detected, consistent 15s INI calls (P11-16)
02/22/26 19:18:28Bp possibly detected - 3 calls in pattern (P9-10)
02/22/26 23:18:28Bp detected with multiple calls in consistent 15s INI throughout tally period
02/23/26 08:33:28Eg automated classification (P9) of poor shape and low amplitude. Not detected
02/24/26 02:18:28P7 looks like a sei doublet, but there's some low freq noise too
02/24/26 14:03:28interesting sweeps in P5 and P6
02/24/26 19:03:28short, but loud, upsweeps throughout. Too short to classify...
03/06/26 11:18:28p11 mid high sounds?? hw??
03/09/26 02:48:28up sweeps in P8 and P10
03/09/26 19:33:28low freq noise or repeated up-sweeps? I have been suspicious of these PTs in the past, but seeing that the Cape Charles buoy classified it as Humpback, we'll go for it
03/10/26 13:03:28more up-and-down mid freq noise
03/10/26 17:18:28nice upsweeps
03/10/26 19:33:28too flat to be biological
03/10/26 21:33:28RW classification in P12 is faint and a bit broken
03/11/26 10:18:28this looks like the "up and down" noise we see ocassionally on this platform, but P3 - P8 may also be HB song
03/15/26 00:33:28interesting broadband calls, could be a humpback but there are too many artifacts for a possible detection
03/18/26 20:03:28two faint unclassified upcalls
03/18/26 23:18:28faint upcalls??
03/22/26 16:48:28Eg automated classifications (P1, 4, 5) of poor shape and amplitude. Not detected.
03/23/26 22:18:28Eg automated classification (P1) low amplitude. Not detected.
03/24/26 03:33:28P2 has upcall shape, but faint
03/24/26 04:03:28a few possible up call shapes, but nothing convincing
03/24/26 12:33:28p11 and p12, possible RW up calls but quiet, artifacts, and surrounding noise
