Hill, M2023vector digital dataOBIS-SEAMAP2242https://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/2242OBIS-SEAMAPhttps://doi.org/10.82144/6f2f776eVersion 1.1.1 The Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center conducted cetacean surveys aboard the NOAA Oscar Elton Sette during the ship's transit from Hawaii to Guam (20 January - 6 February 2010) and covered 2,380 km of on-effort trackline. There were 24 cetacean sightings, most of which were not identified to species. Eight of the cetacean groups were identified to six species. Time and weather limitations prevented the ship’s approach of more of the sighted cetacean groups.Please contact data provider[2023-09-06] Some of the sightings got their group sizes estimated incorrectly. These are fixed. Data were collected under NMFS permit 14097. The data included here are the sightings and on-effort tracks recorded within WinCruz survey software and extracted from the QA/QC'd DAS file using the R package swfscDAS (https://smwoodman.github.io/swfscDAS). Attributes for fields within the trackline files: Cruise - see description in attribute table below segnum - segment number for continuous on-effort line Date - Local date m/dd/yyyy TimeStart - Local time at start of on-effort segment LatStart - Latitude in decimal degrees at starting point of on-effort segment LongStart - Longitude in decimal degrees at starting point of on-effort segment TimeEnd - Local time at end of on-effort segment LatEnd - Latitude in decimal degrees at end point of on-effort segment LongEnd - Longitude in decimal degrees at end point of on-effort segment Mode - see description in attribute table below EffType - see description in attribute table below avgSpdKt - average speed (knots) of the ship over the on-effort segment traveled avgBft - average Beaufort Sea State over the on-effort segment Other data not included here: Photos and biopsy samples were collected during some sightings. Acoustic detections were recorded from a towed hydrophone array. Sonobuoys were deployed opportunistically. A High-frequency Acoustic Recording Package (HARP) was deployed off Wake Island. Oceanographic data were collected (CTD, XBT, continuous plankton recorder).2010012120100205ground conditionCompleteNone plannedHawaii145.0635198.8696721.3551713.27817 NoneMarine Animal SurveyMarine BiologyMarine mammalsVisual SightingVesselNoneHawaiiGuamTaxon coveredMarine mammalsIntegrated Taxonomic Information SystemUnknownNot applicableDownloaded April, 2004http://www.itis.usda.gov/Refer to the contact information of the datasetRefer to the contact information of the datasetmailing and physical address
