This record represents humpback whale sound production detected from raw passive acoustic data. All continuous acoustic data were divided into 30 s wav file subsamples and processed using a machine learning humpback whale detector model developed and provided by Google (GoogleAI; Matt Harvey). The presence of humpback whale song is scored by the model and, compared to a choosen threshold, was assigned a binary 0/1 designation indicating absence (0) or presence (1). The percentage of files with humpback whale presence per hour was calculated.These data were recorded at SanctSound Site PM01_01 between March 31, 2020 and June 01, 2020.
