Data Identification and Access
Identify existing datasets to be included:
Humpback Data
Goal One
For the first goal, we are exploring trends using 2004-2014 East Coast US detection data (described in Davis et al. 2020, Global Change Biology) and additional NEFSC acoustic data from the East Coast US from 2015 onwards.
Goal Two
The second goal involves integrating data from across FMCs, including from the Bering Sea, Arctic, Gulf of Alaska, Cook Inlet, Pacific Islands, CA/OR/WA Coast, Salish Sea, US east coast, National Marine Sanctuaries, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, US West Coast (from AFSC, PIFSC, NWFSC, NEFSC, NRS, and ONMS).
Access and Aggregate Detection Data to PACM/MAKARA
Pull humpback detection data from PACM in standardized format aggregated at daily scale.
Environmental Data
NOAA Coastwatch has a number of useful resources, including lectures about how satellite data works and how to download it from ERDDAP.
We are using the PAMscapes function ‘matchEnvData’ to download data from ERDDAP to match up with acoustic daily presence data. This function also allows for exploration of which datasets on ERDDAP match the temporal and spatial scales of your acoustic detections data.
