Seasonal Movements and Diving of Ringed Seals, Pusa hispida, in the Western Canadian Arctic, 1999 – 2001 and 2010 – 2011

Seasonal Movements and Diving of Ringed Seals, Pusa hispida, in the Western Canadian Arctic, 1999 – 2001 and 2010 – 2011 This record contains two datasets: 1. Raw unfiltered geographic coordinates and accuracy estimates of ringed seals tagged in the Western Canadian Arctic and 2. The location estimate from state-space models using a 12-hr time step. In total, 17 ringed seals were captured, measured, weighed, and tagged with satellite-linked transmitters (SDR-10, SDR-16, SPLASH) in June and July of 1999, 2000, and 2010. The tags, manufactured by Wildlife Computers Ltd. (Redmond, Washington, USA), sent data to polar orbiting satellites. Data were then retrieved via the Argos system (Harris et al., 1990). Tags collected and relayed information on movement (geographic positions) and diving data of the instrumented animals. 2023-07-13 Fisheries and Oceans Canada David.Yurkowski@dfo-mpo.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologySeals/Sea Lions/WalrusesAquatic wildlifeMarine biologyBeaufort Sea Seasonal Movements and Diving of Ringed Seals, Pusa hispida, in the Western Canadian Arctic, 1999 – 2001 and 2010 – 2011ESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/Seasonal_Movements_and_Diving_Ringed_Seals_W_Can_Arctic/MapServer Data DictionaryPDF https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Seasonal_Movements_and_Diving_Ringed_Seals_W_Can_Arctic/Ringed_Seal_DataDictionary_DictionnaireDonnees.pdf Seasonal Movements and Diving of Ringed Seals, Pusa hispida, in the Western Canadian Arctic, 1999 – 2001 and 2010 – 2011CSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Seasonal_Movements_and_Diving_Ringed_Seals_W_Can_Arctic/Ringed_Seal_1999to2001_2010to11_Avg12hrStateSpaceModel.csv Raw dataCSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Seasonal_Movements_and_Diving_Ringed_Seals_W_Can_Arctic/Ringed_Seal_1999to2001_2010to11.csv Seasonal Movements and Diving of Ringed Seals, Pusa hispida, in the Western Canadian Arctic, 1999 – 2001 and 2010 – 2011ESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/Seasonal_Movements_and_Diving_Ringed_Seals_W_Can_Arctic/MapServer
