Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Common Murres (Uria aalge) - Raw Data

Metadata Updated: November 10, 2024

This metadata document describes the data contained in the "rawData" folder of this data package. This data package contains all data collected by the Argos System from 28 satellite transmitters attached to Common murres on their breeding range in arctic and western Alaska, 1994-1996. Five data files are included in the "rawData" folder of this data package. Two data files (with identical content) contain the raw Argos DIAG (Diagnostic) data, one in the legacy verbose ASCII format and one in a tabular Comma Separate Value (CSV) format. Two other data files (with identical content) contain the raw Argos DS (Dispose) data, one in the legacy verbose ASCII format and one in a tabular CSV format. The fifth file, "deploymentAttributes", contains one record for each transmitter deployment in a CSV formatted table. The deployment attributes file contains information such as when the transmitter was attached to the animal, when tracking of a live animal ended, and a variety of variables describing the animal and transmitter. This table is identical to the "deploymentAttributes" table in the "processedData" folder of this data package.
