NOAA NEFSC North Atlantic Right Whale Annotations

These datasets are a compilation of 8 days of acoustic data, collected in the Western North Atlantic Ocean that was manually annotated for the presence of North Atlantic right whale upcalls. This analysis is an expansion of the 2013 DCLDE (Detection, Classification, Localization, and Density Estimation) conference datasets, to add additional days from different deployments (locations, years, recording instruments, and conditions), to provide a larger data set with varying conditions. Each day of data was manually browsed in Raven 1.5, and all North Atlantic right whale upcalls were logged (for multichannel data, only one channel was analyzed and logged: the channel logged is indicated in the corresponding csv file). In the "Detection_Confidence" field, a definite upcall is marked as "Detected"; Possible or unknown detections ( i.e. a call could not be definitely attributed to a North Atlantic right whale), is marked as "Possibly_Detected". Acoustic data and analysis provided by NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center's Passive Acoustic Research group; upcall logs annotated by Nicole Pegg.
