This data release contains all data collected by the Argos System from nine satellite transmitters attached to Marbled Godwits on their breeding range in southwest Alaska, USA. The raw data were processed to accomplish two goals: flag implausible location estimates and decode raw sensor data. Three Comma Separate Value (CSV) tables are included in the \"Argos Processed Data\" (Child Item 1) of this data release: 1) the \"diag_filteredLocations\" table contains one record for every location estimate collected, accompanied by a binary flag that denotes an algorithm's plausibility check. Each record also includes a 'Tracking_Status' variable that denotes whether the location was collected from a live animal, a dead animal, or shed transmitter, 2) the \"decodedSensor\" table contains decoded sensor data such as a transmitter's temperature, battery voltage, and motion (activity), and 3) the \"deploymentAttributes\" table contains one record for each transmitter deployment in a CSV formatted table. The deployment attributes file contains information such as when the transmitter was attached to the animal, when tracking of a live animal ended, and a variety of variables describing the animal and transmitter. This table is identical to the \"deploymentAttributes\" table in the \"Argos Raw Data\" (Child Item 2) of this data release.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.ASC220.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9NORY48", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_ASC220", "keyword": ["Ecological Dynamics", "Animals/Vertebrates", "Sandpipers", "Marbled godwit", "Wintering area", "Wildlife", "Overwintering", "Argos", "Canada", "Migration", "British Columbia", "USGS:ASC220", "Species Migration", "Ugashik", "North Pacific Ocean", "Alaska", "Environment", "Platform Transmitter Terminal", "Seasonal distribution", "Biota", "Satellite transmitter", "PTT", "Migratory birds", "Animal tracking", "Tracking equipment", "Telemetry", "Breeding area", "Species Life History", "Birds", "Breeding sites", "Limosa fedoa", "Seasonal movement"], "modified": "2024-09-23T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-160.312, 36.580, -121.684, 61.564", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) - Processed Data"}
