Aloha,

My co-authors and I are happy to share that our note, "Impulsive sounds produced by humpback whale surface active behavior recorded on acoustic tags and bottom‐moored recorders" has been published in the latest issue (Jan 2024) of Marine Mammal Science. The paper utilizes data from Office of National Marine Sanctuary acoustic monitoring project, SanctSound, and Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary collaborative tagging efforts with University of Hawai'i Hilo and The Dolphin Institute. The paper describes impulsive sounds associated with humpback whale surface-active behaviors and how these signals can contribute to the overall soundscape where humpbacks are present.
