Birds were instrumented with back-mounted Argos satellite transmitters at the Copacabana Colony (62.21S, 58.42W) on King George Island during the austral summer breeding seasons (October - February) from 1996 to 2013. Typical deployments during the breeding season lasted 5 to 8 days, while some winter deployments lasted several months. The data set identifies the sex of the bird tracked (male, female, or unknown) and the age of the bird (adult). The data also identify the breeding stage of the bird during the summer tracking period (incubation, brood/guard, or creche) or is noted as 'winter' if tracked outside the summer breeding season. The data include the date (DD/MM/YYYY) and time (GMT) of the location estimate. Finally, a categorical estimate of uncertainty in the location estimate is provided by Argos quality codes (3,2,1,0,A,B). These data were collected to study the at-sea movements of adult Adelie penguins during the summer breeding season and winter periods.

SARAL performs altimetric measurements designed to study ocean circulation and sea surface elevation. The payloads of SARAL are the ISRO built satellite with payloads modules (ALTIKA altimeter), DORIS, Laser Retro-reflector Array (LRA) and Advanced Research and Global Observation Satellite (ARGOS) data collection system provided by CNES. ISRO is responsible for the platform, launch, and operations of the spacecraft. The overall objectives of SARAL are to realize precise, repetitive global measurements of sea surface height, significant wave heights and wind speed for: 1)Development of operational oceanography (study of mesoscale ocean viability, coastal region observations, inland waters, marine ecosystems, etc. ); 2) Understanding of climate and developing forecasting capabilities and 3)Operational meteorology.
