Data were collected using Wildlife Computers PTT-only SPOT 5 satellite transmitters and PTT identification is also provided with the data. Satellite transmitters were deployed on North Pacific right whales (Eubalaena japonica) in the eastern Bering Sea. This project was funded by the North Pacific Research Board (http://www.nprb.org/). These data were collected to monitor North Pacific right whales (Eubalaena japonica) using satellite telemetry Funding for this project was provided by the North Pacific Research Board and complemented by the United States Minerals Management Service. completed Clapham, Phillip phillip.clapham@noaa.gov pointOfContact Zerbini, Alexandre alex.zerbini@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded Satellite Telemetry theme summer 2008 summer 2009 temporal Southeastern Bering Sea Continental Shelf place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/AFSC > Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

The current dataset has 6 LQ levels. Tagging is the GPS location where a satellite transmitter was deployed and has GPS precision. The accuracy of remaining LQ levels are as defined by Argos Service and are classified in different classes of decreasing accuracy in the following order: 3, 2, 1, 0, A, B, and Z. LQs 3, 2, 1, and 0 have estimated accuracies of 150, 350, 1,000, and >1,000 m. LQs A, B, and Z have no estimated location accuracy. LC Z are points for which the location process failed and were not included in the present dataset. Completeness Report LQ Z and LQ removed by the "argosfilter" package were removed from the data. No duplicate features are present in the dataset Conceptual Consistency not provided Satellite transmitters were attached to the body of North Pacific right whales using a pneumatic delivery system. Whales were tagged with the implantable configuration of the SPOT 5 transmitters produced by Wildlife Computers (Redmond, WA). Transmitters were duty-cycled to optimize data collection in the feeding grounds and for maximizing tag longevity. Tags were programmed to transmit every day for 6 hours (14-21hs UTC) during daytime and 6 hours (2-9hs UTC) during night time for the months of August and September. Beginning in October, when migration likely begins, transmitters were programmed to transmit every other day, following the same alternate 6hr on/off periods. Satellite tags were monitored by Argos Data Collection and Location Service receivers on NOAA TIROS-N weather satellites in sun-synchronous polar orbits. Locations were calculated by Argos from Doppler-shift data when multiple messages were received during a satellites passage overhead. Argos codes locations in quality classes (LQ) labeled B, A, 0, 1, 2, 3, in order of increasing accuracy. Argos locations were processed using the software R. The SDA Argos filter (Freitas et al., 2008) was applied to all location qualities in software R in order to remove locations that implied unlikely deviations from the tracks path as well as unrealistic travel rates. This filter requires two main parameters: turning angles and maximum speed of travel. The default value of turning angles (Freitas et al., 2008) was used and the maximum speed was assumed to be 15km/h (e.g. Mate et al., 1997). Exploratory analysis showed that the use of different maximum speed limits (12 and 18km/h) did not influence the results. Distances between filtered locations were calculated assuming a great circle route. Methods are described in the published manuscript: A. N. Zerbini, Baumgartner, M. F., Kennedy, A. S., Rone, B.
