The vocalization source level distributions and pulse compression gains are estimated for four distinct baleen whale species in the Gulf of Maine: blue, fin, minke, and sei. The vocalizations were received on a large-aperture densely sampled coherent hydrophone array system deployed to monitor marine mammals over instantaneous wide areas using the passive ocean acoustic waveguide remote sensing technique. For each baleen whale species, between 400 to over 1400 measured vocalizations with significantly high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR>10 dB) after coherent beamforming and localized with high accuracies (<10% localization errors) over ranges spanning roughly 1 km to 38 km are included in the analysis. The whale vocalization received pressure levels are corrected for broadband transmission losses modelled using a calibrated parabolic equation based acoustic propagation model for a random range-dependent ocean waveguide. The broadband vocalization equivalent pulse-compression gains are found to be 2.5±1.1 for...
