North Atlantic Right Whale Sound Production Recorded at SanctSound Site SB03_12

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 08:50 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 15, 2023 at 12:00 AM
This record represents North Atlantic right whale (NARW) sound production detected from raw passive acoustic data. The Low Frequency Detection and Classification System (LFDCS) call library for right whale low-frequency modulated upsweep (upcall) was used for the data. All NARW upcall detections with a Mahalanobis distance less than or equal to 3.0 were manually screened due to variability in NARW upcalls and overlap with other species’ vocalizations, such as upsweeps produced by humpback whales. A given day was marked as having NARWs present if three or more true upcall detections. These data were recorded at SanctSound Site SB03_12 between September 17, 2020 and November 22, 2020.
