56184 Entity Published / External 25325 Satellite Tags- Guam/CNMI EEZ Data Set On Going Instrument satellite tag Platform small boat Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center Honolulu HI USA IRC 1845 Wasp Blvd., Bldg. 176 Honolulu, HI 96818 Spreadsheet Yes Satellite telemetry data are received from ARGOS in DIAG format then imported into MoveBank. Within MoveBank the DAR filter is run and the data are exported showing which locations are marked as outliers based on the filter criteria. 1 PROJECT_CRUISE ID TEXT No No Active The project name (including year) and/or the ship survey Cruise ID during which the satellite tags were deployed 2 STUDY NAME TEXT No No Active The Movebank project name - listed by species and region with PIFSC (Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center) indentifier 3 SPECIES TEXT No No Active The scientific name (genus species) of the cetacean species tagged 4 TAG ID-TAG TYPE TEXT No No Active The tag PTT ID and the type of tag (SPOT or SPLASH) deployed 5 INDIVIDUAL LOCAL IDENTIFIER TEXT No No Active Movebank identifier -- PTT ID, two letter species code, location code, year tag was deployed, tag type 6 EVENT ID NUMERIC No No Active An identifier for the set of values associated with each event, i.e. sensor measurement. A unique event ID is assigned to every time-location or other time-measurement record in Movebank. 7 TIMESTAMP DATE/TIME No No Active The UTC date and time of the tag location hit format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.sss 8 LOCATION-LONGITUDE FLOAT No No Active The estimated geographic longitude of the location of the satellite tag. Positive values are east of the Greenwich Meridian, negative values are west of it. 9 LOCATION-LATITUDE FLOAT No No Active The estimated geographic latitude of the location of the satellite tag. Positive values are east of the Greenwich Meridian, negative values are west of it. 10 ALGORITHM MARKED OUTLIER TEXT No No Active Identifies events marked as outliers using the Douglas Argos Filter (DAR) algorithm in Movebank. Outliers have the value TRUE 11 ARGOS:ALTITUDE NUMERIC No No Active Platform altitude in km - should always be 0 for cetaceans 12 ARGOS:BEST LEVEL NUMERIC No No Active Best signal strength (dB), Argos diagnostic data 13 ARGOS:CALCULATED FREQUENCY FLOAT No No Active Calculated frequency (Hz), Argos diagnostic data 14 ARGOS:IQ NUMERIC No No Active This quality indicator gives information on the transmitter in terms of two digits, X and Y. X is the first digit and indicates residual error on the frequency calculation; Y is the second digit and indicates transmitter oscillator frequency drift between two satellite passes. Values provided in Argos diagnostic data (definition from Argos User's Manual 2011). Values obtained through some Argos channels do not include leading 0s, so 1-digit values indicate X = 0 and blank values or values of "0" indicate both X and Y = 0. Allowed values are X = 0: No calculation of residual frequency error (fewer than four messages received) X = 1,2,3: Unsatisfactory convergence of calculation X = 4: Residual frequency error > 1.5 Hz X = 5: 0.15 Hz < residual frequency error < 1.5 Hz X = 6: Residual frequency error < 0.15 Hz Y = 0: No check on transmit frequency drift, as the two results are more than 12 hours apart. Y = 1: Frequency discrepancy > 400 Hz. Probably due to transmit frequency discrepancy, change of oscillator, etc. Y = 2: Previous location is less than 1/2 hour old. Frequency discrepancy > 30 Hz, i.e. F/F (over 10 min) >2.5 E-8 Y = 3: Frequency drift > 4 Hz/minute, i.e. F/F (10 min) > 1.10-7 Y = 4: Frequency drift < 4 Hz/minute, i.e. F/F (10 min) < 1.10-7 Y = 5: Frequency drift < 2 Hz/minute, i.e. F/F (10 min) < 5.10-8 Y = 6: Frequency drift < 1 Hz/minute, i.e. F/F (10 min) < 2.5 . 10-8 Y = 7: Frequency drift < 0.4 Hz/minute, i.e. F/F (10 min) < 1.10-8 Y = 8: Frequency drift < 0.2 Hz/minute, i.e. F/F (10 min) < 5.10-9 15 ARGOS:LAT1 FLOAT No No Active Solution 1. platform latitude in degrees and thousandths of degrees, Argos diagnostic data. decimal degrees, WGS84 reference system 16 ARGOS:LAT2 FLOAT No No Active Solution 2. platform latitude in degrees and thousandths of degrees, Argos diagnostic data. decimal degrees, WGS84 reference system 17 ARGOS:LC ALPHANUMERIC No No Active The location class retrieved from Argos, Argos diagnostic data. Allowed values are 0, 1, 2, 3, A, B, and Z 3 Argos < 250m 4 messages or more 2 Argos 250m < < 500m 4 messages or more 1 Argos 500m < < 1500m 4 messages or more 0* Argos > 1500m 4 messages or more A Argos No accuracy estimation Unbounded accuracy estimation 3 messages B Argos No accuracy estimation Unbounded accuracy estimation messages 1 or 2 messages Z Argos Invalid location (available only for Service Plus/Auxiliary Location Processing) 18 ARGOS:LONG1 FLOAT No No Active Solution 1. platform longitude in degrees and thousandths of degrees, Argos diagnostic data decimal degrees, WGS84 reference system 19 ARGOS:LONG2 FLOAT No No Active Solution 2. platform longitude in degrees and thousandths of degrees, Argos diagnostic data decimal degrees, WGS84 reference system 20 ARGOS:NB MES NUMERIC No No Active The number of messages received [to calculate location], Argos diagnostic data 21 ARGOS:NB MES-120 NUMERIC No No Active The number of messages received by the satellite at a signal strength greater than -120 decibels, Argos diagnostic data 22 ARGOS:NOPC NUMERIC No No Active The number of plausibility checks successful (from 0-4), Argos diagnostic data 23 ARGOS:PASS DURATION NUMERIC No No Active Time elapsed (seconds) between the first and last message received by the satellite, Argos diagnostic data 24 ARGOS:VALID LOCATION ALGORITHM NUMERIC No No Active Indicates which of the two location estimates provided by Argos is the valid location, using a user-selected filter algorithm in Movebank. Allowed values are 1: The Argos filter algorithm has chosen the primary location (solution 1, lat1/lon1) as the valid location. 2: The Argos filter algorithm has chosen the alternate location (solution 2, lat2/lon2) as the valid location. 25 SENSOR TYPE TEXT No No Active The type of sensor with which data were collected Data Steward 2006 Person Hill, Marie C marie.c.hill@noaa.gov 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA (808)725-5710 Distributor 2006 Organization Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center PIFSC pifsc.info@noaa.gov https://ror.org/02apffz65 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA 808-725-5360 https://www.pifsc.noaa.gov Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center homepage Online Resource 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Metadata Contact 2006 Person Hill, Marie C marie.c.hill@noaa.gov 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA (808)725-5710 Point of Contact 2009 Person Oleson, Erin M erin.oleson@noaa.gov 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA (808)725-5712 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Point of Contact 2006 Person Hill, Marie C marie.c.hill@noaa.gov 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA (808)725-5710 Unclassified None None None The user is responsible for the results of any application of these data.
