Description
Summary:Presence-absence data on hourly acoustic presence of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) were obtained from passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) data collected by passive acoustic recorder SV1097 of type Sono.Vault (manufactured by develogic GmbH, Hamburg, Germany) at 78° 10.21' N, 000° 00.04' E, mooring ARKR01-01, in Fram Strait. Passive acoustic data were collected as part of the Frontiers in Arctic Marine Monitoring (FRAM) observatory in Fram Strait from August 2016 to August 2017 (recording period) by SV1097 (deployment period from August 2016 to July 2018). The recorder was moored at 799 m depth and scheduled to record continuously at a sample rate of 48,000 Hz. Hourly acoustic presence of bowhead whales was assessed based on automated detections of bowhead whale vocalizations using the LFDCS ('Low-Frequency Detection and Classification System') software (Baumgartner and Mussoline, 2011, https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3562166), using an SNR ('signal-to-noise ratio') threshold of 8 dB and a Mahalanobis distance ...
