All calls were received and measured on all four hydrophones. These quantities are highly dependent on the site-specific propagation properties. SD2 is the variance of the mean values for each call and SDpercall2 is the mean of the variances for each call across the four hydrophones. The relative contribution of each type of variance is shown as a percentage of the total variance.
