Data Attribute / Type	Description
DeployID Character	Argos Platform Transmitter Terminal identifier
PTT Character	Argos Platform Transmitter Terminal identifier
Depthsensor Numeric	Indicates the resolution of the depth sensor. Typical values are 0.1m, 0.5, and 1.0m. The value in this column is blank if the gain was unavailable - in this case a 0.5 meter resolution is assumed.

Instr Character	Type of satellite tag (SPLASH, SPOT, MK10)
HistType character	Percent - Percent of time turtle spent on the surface within a given hour
Date Date	date and time when message was received by Argos
Time Offset Numeric	The tag increments a counter each time it successfully gathers satellite data. This is the value of that counter when this row's snapshot was taken
Count numeric	Total number of times this particular data item was received, verified, and successfully decoded
