DescriptionGroup size estimations for marine mammal sightings
Entity Information
Entity Type
Data Table
Data Attribute / Type | Description |
---|---|
surveyEventID
Character |
Unique identifier to a survey (vessel or aircraft based) event. For vessel survey: composed of the vessel's acronym followed by a 2-digit survey year and a 2-digit consecutive mission-number on that vessel (a.k.a cruise code). Cruise name / Cruise Number |
sightingNumber
numeric |
The numeric identifier to the cetacean sighting |
scientificName
character |
The full scientific name or lowest level taxonomic rank that could be determined for the sighting. See also dwc:scientificName |
vernacularName
character |
The common or vernacular name for the species or lowest level taxonomic rank that could be determined for the sighting. |
recordedBy
numeric |
Numeric code for each observer |
observersCountsMin
Numeric |
Value estimated by the observer to reflect the minimum number of animals in the sighting. |
observersCountsBest
Numeric |
Value estimated by the observer to reflect the most accurate number of animals in the sighting |
observersCountsMax
Numeric |
Value estimated by the observer to reflect the maximum number of animals in the sighting. |
typeVLTS
character |
One-character string to flag only the initial sighting records which can be used in density and abundance estimation. Opportunistic and subsequent sighting records can be included in the dataset, but these are easily identified from this term for exclusion from abundance and density modeling. The fixed vocabulary terms are: F = first observation sighting on transect, O = opportunistic sighting, S = subsequent sighting either on or off transect, Null = for position-only records or non-VLTS datasets. |
platformVLTS
character |
One-character string to flag survey platform type for visual line transect surveys. For aerial surveys: All records flagged “A” For boat-based surveys: All records flagged “B”. |
higherInstitutionCode
Character |
Institution codes, in the form of abbreviated institution names, separated by semicolons, that define the hierarchy of institutions within which the data originator operates. Includes the originating institution as the lowest level (rightmost) code. |
permitnumber
Character |
The permit number which gives authority /permission for collection of the marine mammal data. |
platformAttributes
character |
Model, name and/or other proper characteristics of the platform where the survey was conducted. For vessel: e.g. NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter, NOAA Ship Pisces. For aerial survey: e.g. NOAA De Havilland DHC-6-300 Twin Otter. |
relatedProjectProgram
character |
Official project and/or program under which the survey was conducted (e.g. AMAPPS, GoMMAPPS). If applicable. |
samplingProtocol
character |
The names of, references to, or descriptions of the methods or protocols used during an Event. Public URL to survey and/or cruise reports if available. |
