Summary

Entity Information

Data Attribute / Type Description
ptt
integer 		The Argos decimal Ptt (platform transmitter terminal) assigned to the instrument of a given animal.
dbid
integer and character 		Database ID; the unique identification number (or name) assigned to each study animal. Numeral dbids are associated with the Alaska Ecosystems Program’s (https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/tags/alaska-ecosystems-program) Telemetry Database (MML or ADFG property), whereas names are associated with University of Alaska, Anchorage (UAA) property.
datetime
datetime 		The Argos Date and Time of receipt of the associated data. Time is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is equivalent to UTC.
lq
character 		Location Quality; Designates the location quality (measurement of accuracy) associated with a corresponding position calculated by Service Argos (see: http://www.argos-system.org/manual/3-location/34_location_classes.htm) for a full description.
latitude
decimal 		Argos calculated latitude of associated ptt location (decimal degree).
longitude
decimal 		Argos calculated longitude of associated ptt location (decimal degree).
Vmask
character 		Locations were filtered using the algorithm described in McConnell et al. (1992) using the R package Argosfilter (0.63; Freitas 2012). See http://127.0.0.1:24491/library/argosfilter/html/vmask.html for a full description.
region
character 		Area describing larger metapopulation groupings of Steller sea lion complexes and sites. Regions are commonly referred to in MML data products and manuscripts, and in NMFS policy and management documents. Steller sea lion metapopulation structure in Alaska is described by: York AE, Merrick RL, and Loughlin TR (1996). An analysis of the Steller sea lion metapopulation in Alaska. In: Metapopulations and Wildlife Conservation, Island Press, Washington DC 259-292.
sitename
character 		A descriptive name specific to the site (location) of animal capture for instrumentation. All capital letters, corresponds to sitenames listed in the "Site Description" table of the Alaska Ecosystems Program’s Steller sea lion database with geographic coordinates found at NCEI Accession 0129877.The "SITENAME" is consistent among the MML’s data products and publications.
age
character 		general age class of captured sea lion
sex
character 		sex of sea lion
instr
character 		Satellite transmitter instrument make (and in some cases model) deployed on corresponding animal. All satellite transmitters had data archiving abilities.
property
character 		Indicates ownership of corresponding instrument
comments
character 		Additional notes denoted for corresponding sea lion.
