Count Component Title Abstract
1 Sei Whale Sound Production Recorded at SanctSound Site SB02_03 This record represents sei whale sound production detected from raw passive acoustic data. The Low Frequency Detection and Classification System (LFDCS) call library contains the 82 ? 34 Hz sei whale downsweeps, which was the call type we focused on in this study. All sei whale downsweep detections with a Mahalanobis distance of 3.0 or less were manually screened for the daily presence of a doublet or triplet, doublets and triplets were defined as 2 or 3 repeated downsweeps, respectively, with roughly 3.5 seconds elapsed between the start of successive calls. Sei whales were considered present if a true detection (at least one downsweep detected within a doublet or triplet) was found for that day. Only the occurrence of the downsweeps as doublet or triplets were selected to ensure confidence in species identification. These data were recorded at SanctSound site SB02_03 between April 2, 2019 and June 1, 2019.

          1 https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/science/monitoring/sound/ Sound Monitoring NOAA and the U.S. Navy are working to better understand underwater sound within the National Marine Sanctuary System. For the next few years, these agencies will work with numerous scientific partners to study sound within seven national marine sanctuaries and one marine national monument, which includes waters off Hawai'i and the east and west coasts. Standardized acoustic measurements are used to assess sounds produced by marine animals, physical processes (e.g., wind and waves), and human activities. Collectively, this information will help NOAA and the Navy measure sound levels and baseline acoustic conditions in sanctuaries. This work is a continuation of ongoing Navy and NOAA monitoring and research, including efforts by the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. information

          1 All acoustic data were processed using the Low Frequency Detection and Classification System (LFDCS; Baumgartner and Mussoline 2011), which creates conditioned spectrograms using a short-time Fourier transform with a data frame of 512 samples and 75% overlap (80% overlap for the 120 Hz decimated data (blue and fin whales)), resulting in a time step of 64 ms and frequency resolution of 3.9 Hz (for 120 Hz data: 853 ms time step and 0.23 Hz frequency resolution). After tracing contour lines, or ?pitch tracks?, through tonal sounds, the program uses multivariate discriminant function analysis to classify the pitch tracks into species-specific call types based on a call library. Each detection is assigned a Mahalanobis distance (MD), which measures the deviation of a sound?s pitch track from the assigned call type (see Baumgartner and Mussoline (2011) for a more complete description). A lower MD indicates a closer match to the assigned call type. For a well-developed call type in the LFDCS (i.e., the seven attributes used in the discriminant function analysis are multivariate normal), 75% of pitch-tracks for the call type will have a MD of 3.0 or less (Baumgartner et al. 2013). Setting a MD threshold is necessary to minimize the false detection rates, but in doing so causes some true detections to be missed in the analysis. The MD threshold of 3.0 was chosen for all vocalizations detected and classified in the humpback, sei, and fin whale call library. However, for blue whales, false detection rates were lower than any of the other species, thus a MD of 5.0 was chosen to decrease the probability of missing true detections. All LFDCS detections were manually reviewed by a number of trained acoustic analysts to determine daily presence of each of the four baleen whale species. A true detection was defined as a pitch track that correctly classified a call or song unit to the species that produced it (Bonnell et al. 2016). Given the variability of each species call type, the specific methodology to determine daily acoustic presence was different for each species. The LFDCS call library contains the 82 ? 34 Hz sei whale downsweeps, which was the call type we focused on in this study. All sei whale downsweep detections with a MD of 3.0 or less were manually screened for the daily presence of a doublet or triplet, doublets and triplets were defined as 2 or 3 repeated downsweeps, respectively, with roughly 3.5 seconds elapsed between the start of successive calls. Sei whales were considered present if a true detection (at least one downsweep detected within a doublet or triplet) was found for that day. Only the occurrence of the downsweeps as doublet or triplets were selected to ensure confidence in species identification.
