Northeast Atlantic
Northeast Atlantic Classifier
When used together to classify encounters containing multiple vocalizations, these ROCCA classifiers performed with an overall accuracy of 78%, ranging from 60% for Grampus griseus encounters to 92% for Orcinus orca encounters. The following seven species can be identified:
- Atlantic white-sided dolphin (Lagenorhynchus acutus)
- Common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)
- Killer whale (Orcinus orca)
- Long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas)
- Risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus)
- Short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis)
- White-beaked dolphin (Lagenorhynchus albirostris)

Northeast Atlantic ROCCA click and whistle classifiers can be found on Zenodo: zenodo.org/records/14936662. Separate click and whistle predictions are intended to be combined for final species classification via an R application (see README file) also accessible through the Zenodo download. Also included in the download are a PAMGuard settings file (.psfx) for ROCCA and a README file in the download containing documentation, tutorials, and extra information.
