Northern Fur Seal foraging, 2008, Patch Dynamics (B67)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/245.B67-006

Summary
This data set contains Telemetry data for northern fur seals in the summer of
2008. Lactating females were tagged with Multi-Channel Accelerometer Biologer
(MCAB) tags and Fastloc GPS tags made by Sirtrack. The MCAB tags recorded
Date, Time, Acceleration in 3 Dimensions, Depth (Pressure 1), Speed (Infra red
reflectance), Earths Magnetic Field in 3 Dimensions, Temperature (internal),
Temperature (external) Light, Pitch (deg) and Roll (deg). The GPS tags
recorded position in Lat and Long and Date and Time among other things. 26
females were successfully tagged with GPS tags. The data locations cover much
of the South Eastern Bering sea surrounding the Pribilof Islands out to a
radius of up to 400 km away from St. Paul Island. 6 females returned with MCAB
data.
