Right whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/14/23 02:56:43Possibly detected48.9597-63.3113Two classified NARW upcalls in P6 & 11; despite having short durations and low amplitudes, both are well-isolated and have reasonable shapes.
08/14/23 22:11:43Detected48.9998-63.3155Two classified RW upcalls in P5 & 6. There is a third upcall in P6 that despite being unclassified and having a broken pitch track, has a convincing shape. All three calls are isolated and there is no confounding background noise throughout the period. There are three additional possible upcalls in P6 & 7, but these have short durations, low amplitudes, and small artifacts; alone, these calls would not be considered definitive indicators of right whale presence, but in the context of the other three convincing calls, support the case for marking this period as 'detected' for right whales.


Blue whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/14/23 19:41:43Possibly detected49.0008-63.3129Possible BW D calls in P13-15; the first call in P13 is classified as SW call type 1, but the concave-down call in P15 indicates that these three panels of calls are most likely attributable to blue whale presence.
08/14/23 19:56:43Possibly detected49.0007-63.3131Possible BW D calls in P2 & 4, both of which are concave-down.
