    Metadata Updated: January 7, 2026

    This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Long-tailed Ducks, a species of seaduck that breeds throughout the circumpolar Arctic and spends the winter in coastal areas of northern and mid latitudes. Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Long-tailed Ducks (Clangula hyemalis) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters. Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Long-tailed Ducks (Clangula hyemalis) - Raw Data" -- All raw data collected from Argos satellite transmitters, provided for completeness of the archive. The quality-controlled, "Argos Processed Data" (Child Item 1) are better suited for most analytical purposes.
