Data Attributes
Attribute Summary
|
|
Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
100
|
deployid | character | Argos Platform Transmitter Terminal identifier | |
|
100
|
Ptt | Character | Argos Platform Transmitter Terminal identifier | |
|
100
|
DepthSensor | Numeric | Indicates the resolution of the depth sensor. Typical values are 0.1m, 0.5m, 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 | |
|
100
|
Instr | Character | Type of satellite tag (SPLASH, SPOT, MK10) | |
|
100
|
RTC | Data | Value of the tag's onboard clock (Time and date) | |
|
100
|
Date_Time_msg_received | date | date and time when message was received by Argos | |
|
100
|
Time_Offset | numeric | Calculated difference between the tag's clock and the time reported by Argos. Adding this value to the value in the RTC' column should yield the value in the Date_Time_msg_received column | |
|
100
|
LocationQuality | character | Class of location generated by Argos for the satellite pass containing this message | |
|
100
|
Latitude | numeric | Latitude portion of the location generated by Argos | |
|
100
|
Longitude | numeric | Longitude portion of the location generated by Argos | |
|
100
|
Type | Character | Some tags send strongly validated status messages, others do not. If this message was strongly validated, the field contains a value such as 'CRC' or 'CKSUM'. If blank, you may want to look for repeated messages to confirm the data is accurate | |
|
100
|
hauledout | character | Contains '1' if the tag was hauled out at the time of the transmission, '0' if not halued out, and is blank if the tag does not support haulout or if the original message did not contain haulout information | |
|
100
|
BrokenThermistor | Character | Some tags have an external thermistor which may be subject to damage. This field is '1' if the tag has detected a broken thermistor, '0' if the thermistor is not broken, and blank if the tag does not transmit this information | |
|
100
|
Brokenlink | Character | If the tag supports automatic release from the animal, and if the tag has the capability to determine if the release mechanism is currently intact, this field will contain a '0' if the mechanism is intact and a '1' if the mechanism is broken or released | |
|
100
|
number_ Argos_transmissions | numeric | The number of Argos transmissions generated by the tag | |
|
100
|

|
100
|
Transmitter_Current | Numeric | Transmitter's Power Amp supply current. Used for diagnostics by Wildlife Computers | |
|
100
|
temperature | numeric | Temperature measured by the tag just prior to this transmission | |
|
100
|
Depth | numeric | Depth sensor reading made just prior to transmission. Since the tag must be at the surface to transmit, this value should be close to zero and therefore indicates any drift in the sensor. The ZeroDepthOffset has not been applied to this value | |
|
100
|
MaxDepth | numeric | Maximum depth measured by the tag during some previous period (usually the previous day, but can vary depending on tag type). | |
|
100
|
ZeroDepthOffset | numeric | The amount of offset that the tag is currently applying to the Depth sensor readings if the Zero Offset Correction feature is enabled on the tag. The feature is working correctly if 0 meters = Depth + ZeroDepthOffset*Resolution where Depth is the uncorrected dvalue reported in this status message | |
|
100
|
MinWetDry | numeric | The minimum wet/dry sensor value observed during the previous day | |
|
100
|
MaxWetDry | Numeric | The maximum wet/dry sensor value observed during the previous day | |
|
100
|
WetDryThreshold | Numeric | The current wet/dry sensor threshold value. Wet/dry sensor values above this value indicate the tag is dry. Sensor values less than this value indicate the tag is wet |
