Bering Sea right whale acoustic recordings

We analyzed long-term acoustic recordings from seafloor instruments in the southeastern Bering Sea and western Gulf of Alaska
to characterize the behavior and seasonal distribution of North Pacific right whales (Eubalaena japonica). These datasets were archived as part of the North Pacific Research Board legacy project recovery effort undertaken by Axiom Data Science and NPRB in 2025. The goal of the recovery effort was to assess the NPRB-funded data projects from 2002 to 2014 and archive final data packages that were ready for publication to increase long-term accessibility and discoverability. Data packages were archived as is given limited funding and resources.
