|---|
2025-03-26T15:34:27-0500 |
2025-03-26T20:34:27Z |

End date and time for detection analysis (i.e., the end date and time for when the data were analyzed by human analyst or detector).
| Examples |
|---|
2025-09-17T07:54:28-0500 |
2025-09-17T12:54:28Z |
analysis_sample_rate_khz
Sample rate (in kHz) of acoustic data used for detector and analysis, this may be a resampled rate than the original recordings.
| Examples |
|---|
1 |
10.5 |
analysis_min_frequency_khz
The minimum frequency (in kHz) used for the analysis, if applicable (default value is "0").
| Examples |
|---|
2 |
analysis_max_frequency_khz
The maximum frequency used for the analysis. The value is relative to the recording's sample rate. If the original recordings had a sample rate of 48kHz, and the data was either resampled to 2kHz for the analysis, or only viewed at up to 1kHz, then this value would be "1". The value for this field would be "24" if the sampling rate and analysis viewing window was kept at 48kHz.
| Examples |
|---|
1 |
24 |
analysis_processing_code
Indicates if the analysis conducted in real-time, or after the audio recording was retrieved (i.e., post-processed).
| Examples |
|---|
POST_PROCESSED |
REAL_TIME |
analysis_protocol_reference
Citation with URL and/or DOI (if available) for published paper for detector and the document with the analysis methods used for validating the data (published protocols are preferred, but can refer to a name of an internal document that is not currently published). Separate multiple entries with semicolons.
| Examples |
|---|
NEFSC Whale Presence Analysis Protocol |
Baumgartner and Mussoline 2011, doi:10.1121/1.3562166 |
FPOD manual 2.0 |
analysis_citations
Preferred citation(s) for this analysis and its detection results. These citations will be displayed in the citations list on PACM. Separate multiple entries with semicolons. Please use standard Harvard format for all citations and include a URL and/or DOI, if available.
| Examples |
|---|

analysis_detector_code
The detector(s) used for the analysis. Usually, only one detector is specified, but in some cases multple detectors can be specified when used for a single analysis (e.g., both the Whistly & Moan and the Click detectors in PAMGuard).
| Examples |
|---|
LFDCS |
MANUAL |
ISRAT_COD |

|---|
2 |
beta |
detection_start_datetime
Start date and time for the time period for the detection event or time bin depending on analysis granularity.
| Examples |
|---|
2025-03-26T15:34:27-0500 |
2025-03-26T20:34:27Z |
detection_end_datetime
End date and time for the time period for the detection event or time bin depending on analysis granularity. If detection is for a single point in time, the start and end datetimes can be the same.
| Examples |
|---|
2025-03-26T15:34:27-0500 |
2025-03-26T20:34:30Z |
detection_effort_secs
The amount of time (in seconds) the effort occurred in. This would translate to encounter or event duration for encounter/event level data. If the entire period was analyzed, enter total duration between the detection start and end datetimes. If the first 5 minutes of every hourly analysis bin was analyzed, this number would be "300". If the full hour of every hourly analysis bin was analyzed, this number would be "3600".
| Examples |
|---|
300 |
3600 |
