| * » Abstract |
This dataset contains ARGOS location data (latitude and longitude in decimal format) and associated time (date and time) and location quality (as defined by Argos System, www.argos-system.org) information. Data were collected using Wildlife Computers PTT-only SPOT 5 satellite transmitters and PTT identification is also provided with the data. Satellite transmitters were deployed on North Pacific humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the eastern Bering Sea. |
| * Purpose |
These data were collected to monitor North Pacific humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) using satellite telemetry |

Attribute accuracy is provided in the Location Quality (LQ) field. The current dataset has 6 LQ levels. Tagging is the GPS location where a satelitte transmitter was deployed and has GPS precision. The accuracy of remaining LQ levels are as defined by Argos Service and are classified in different classes of decreasing accuracy in the following order: 3, 2, 1, 0, A, B, and Z. LQs 3, 2, 1, and 0 have estimated accuracies of 150, 350, 1,000, and greater than;1,000 m. LQs A, B, and Z have no estimated location accuracy. LC Z are points for which the location process failed and were not included in the present dataset. |

| » Description |
Satellite transmitters were attached to the body of North Pacific humpback whales using a pneumatic delivery system. Whales were tagged with the implantable configuration of the SPOT 5 transmitters produced by Wildlife Computers (Redmond, WA). Transmitters were duty-cycled to optimize data collection in the feeding grounds and for maximizing tag longevity. Tags were programmed to transmit every day for 6 hours during daytime and 6 hours during night time for the months of August and September. Beginning in October, when migration likely begins, transmitters were programmed to transmit every other day, following the same alternate 6hr on/off periods. Satellite tags were monitored by Argos Data Collection and Location Service receivers on NOAA TIROS-N weather satellites in sun-synchronous polar orbits. Locations were calculated by Argos from Doppler-shift data when multiple messages were received during a satellites passage overhead. Argos codes locations in quality classes (LQ) labeled B, A, 0, 1, 2, 3, in order of increasing accuracy. Argos locations were processed using the software R. The SDA Argos filter (Freitas et al., 2008) was applied to all location qualities in software R in order to remove locations that implied unlikely deviations from the tracks path as well as unrealistic travel rates. This filter requires two main parameters: turning angles and maximum speed of travel. The default value of turning angles (Freitas et al., 2008) was used and the maximum speed was assumed to be 18km/h. Distances between filtered locations were calculated assuming a great circle route. Methods are described in the published manuscript: Kennedy AS, Zerbini AN, Rone BK, Clapham PJ (2014) Individual variation in movements of satellite-tracked humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae in the eastern Aleutian Islands and Bering Sea.
