Upsweep is an unidentified sound detected on the American NOAA's equatorial autonomous hydrophone arrays. This sound was present when the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory began recording its sound surveillance system, SOSUS, in August 1991. It consists of a long train of narrow-band upsweeping sounds of several seconds in duration each.
The sound's source was roughly triangulated to , a remote point in the South Pacific Ocean west of the southern tip of South AmericaThe sound was detected by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array, [1] a system of hydrophones primarily used to monitor undersea seismicity, ice noise, and marine mammal population and migration.
Chapman helped to analyze the data from the recordings in the 1980s and discovered the data contained a “gold mine” of information about many kinds of sound in the ocean, including from marine ...

This pitch is at a higher frequency than that of the other whale species with migration patterns most closely resembling the 52-hertz whale's [ 1 ] – the blue whale (10 to 39 Hz) [ 2 ] and ...
