    This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Pelagic Cormorants, a seabird species that breeds throughout the northern Pacific Ocean and spends the winter in East Asia and throughout coastal portions of western North America. Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Pelagic Cormorants (Phalacrocorax pelagicus) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters. Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Pelagic Cormorants (Phalacrocorax pelagicus) - 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.
