  • Abstract
    This study shows the variation in Blainville´s beaked whale buzz click characteristics. Due to the lack of statistical consistency, single-click classification appears infeasible. Nonetheless, the spectrum is very similar from one click to the next. Thanks to this slow variation it is possible to associate clicks using automatic tracking techniques [1]. Subsequently, tracks can be classified as buzzes based on the inter-click intervals.
