    • Blue Whale Sound Production Recorded at SanctSound Site CI03_04

    Metadata Updated: June 16, 2023

    This record represents blue whale sound production detected from raw passive acoustic data. Blue whale B calls were detected by analysts and logged using Triton's Logger Remora. The following settings were used for manual scanning of spectrograms: Bandwidth = 0-200 Hz; Duration = 1 min; Brightness = 20; Contrast = 250; FFT = 2,000; Overlap = 90%. These data were recorded at SanctSound Site CI03_04 between August 03, 2020 and November 03, 2020.
