Tracking Data for Black Scoters (Melanitta americana)
This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Black Scoters, a sea duck species that breeds throughout higher latitudes of Alaska and Canada and winters along coastal areas of North America.
Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Black Scoters (Melanitta americana) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters.
Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Black Scoters (Melanitta americana) - Raw Data" -- All raw data collected from Argos satellite transmitters, provided for completeness of the archive. The quality-controlled, "Argos Processed Data" (Child Item 1) are better suited for most analytical purposes.
