Entity Information

Data Table

Data Attribute / Type Description
turtle_id
character
4-digit unique code assigned to turtle by NMFS Staff. This field can be used to track turtles that had different tags and/or transmitters attached to them
deployid
character
Argos Platform Transmitter Terminal identifier
Ptt
Character
Argos Platform Transmitter Terminal identifier
Instr
Character
Type of satellite tag (SPLASH, SPOT, MK10)
RTC
Date
Value of the tag's on board clock (Time and date)
Date_Time_msg_received
date
date and time when message was received by Argos
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
LocationQuality
character
Class of location generated by Argos for the satellite pass containing this message
Latitude
numeric
Latitude portion of the location generated by Argos
Longitude
numeric
Longitude portion of the location generated by Argos
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
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
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
number_ Argos_transmissions
numeric
The number of Argos transmissions generated by the tag
Battery_Voltage
numeric
Battery voltage measured by the tag during the transmission of this status message
Transmitter_Voltage
Numeric
Transmitter's Power Amp supply voltage. Used for diagnostics by Wildlife Computers
Transmitter_Current
Numeric
Transmitter's Power Amp supply current. Used for diagnostics by Wildlife Computers
temperature
numeric
Temperature measured by the tag just prior to this transmission
MaxDepth
numeric
Maximum depth measured by the tag during some previous period (usually the previous day, but can vary depending on tag type).
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
MinWetDry
numeric
The minimum wet/dry sensor value observed during the previous day
MaxWetDry
Numeric
The maximum wet/dry sensor value observed during the previous day
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
StatusWord
Numeric
This low level diagnostic work Is sent to illuminate the tag's internal state. This is used for diagnostics at WC
