Beluga whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
09/06/16 13:25:37Possibly detected69.3461-164.7670Classified beluga call in p16, but pitch track is a bit short. Lots of sounds in p15, too, but no idea what's going on there. This is one of those weird series with lots of LF FM signals - could be glider, could be other. Sigh.
09/06/16 23:51:18Detected69.3626-164.7285Looks like reasonably loud beluga calls in p8, but pitch tracks look incomplete. Scoring as "possibly detected". I would actually be inclined to call this detected


Bowhead whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
09/06/16 15:26:01Possibly detected69.3491-164.7662I'm scoring this as possibly detected for bowheads as some of these pitch tracks look like legitimate calls. However, almost none are isolated from other (likely noise) pitch tracks, so I'm still suspicious. There's a fair bit going on here - maybe bowhead, maybe other...
09/06/16 16:36:18Possibly detected69.3507-164.7667Again with the stacked pitch tracks, but the sequence in p3 looks different than the rest of the sounds here. The pitch tracks are loud, not as stacked, have some shape to them (not monotones), and for those that are stacked, the upper frequency pitch tracks are faint (like harmonics, but they're not at the right frequencies). Very mysterious. I'm scoring as possibly detected for bowheads pending Kate's assessment.

Notes:

Date/time (local)LatitudeLongitudeNotes
09/06/16 07:51:1869.3381-164.7732Lots of regularly spaced sounds in p11. The regularity makes me think its the rudder, but its worth a look by Kate.
09/06/16 08:36:1869.3390-164.7737Lots of sounds here, but I haven't a clue what's going on. These spectrograms don't provide enough detail at the low frequencies (< 200 Hz)!!!
09/06/16 09:26:4169.3398-164.7682Again, many stacked pitch tracks here, of which I'm highly suspicious.
09/06/16 09:51:1869.3389-164.7727Same stacked pitch tracks.
09/06/16 10:36:1869.3400-164.7713Abundant stacked pitch tracks.
09/06/16 11:51:1869.3425-164.7729Many stacked pitch tracks.
09/06/16 12:36:1869.3442-164.7706More stacked pitch tracks.
09/06/16 13:25:3769.3461-164.7670Classified beluga call in p16, but pitch track is a bit short. Lots of sounds in p15, too, but no idea what's going on there. This is one of those weird series with lots of LF FM signals - could be glider, could be other. Sigh.
09/06/16 13:51:1869.3453-164.7712These stacked calls are really frustrating. Without the lower-frequency parts, some look like legitimate calls (likely bowhead), but I'm having trouble believing them with all contemporaneous horizontal pitch tracks.
09/06/16 14:36:1869.3470-164.7688More stacked pitch tracks.
09/06/16 15:26:0169.3491-164.7662I'm scoring this as possibly detected for bowheads as some of these pitch tracks look like legitimate calls.

09/06/16 17:24:4069.3526-164.7639Very loud stacked pitch tracks.
09/06/16 17:51:1869.3520-164.7679More craziness, but call at the beginning of p11 is interesting - loud and stacked, but stacked pitch tracks are not monotones. Leaving as not detected for all species, but worth a look by Kate.
09/06/16 18:36:1869.3534-164.7664More stacked pitch tracks, many quite loud.
09/06/16 19:27:1569.3556-164.7600Argh! LF warble in p13 is interesting, but it has a monotone pitch track underneath it.
09/06/16 19:51:1869.3545-164.7592The regularity of the sounds in p11 is surprising. I can't tell if this is rudder noise or not.
09/06/16 20:36:1869.3559-164.7571Lots of sounds here, none very convincing.
