Tracking Data for Surf Scoters (Melanitta perspicillata)
This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Surf Scoters, a seaduck 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 Surf Scoters (Melanitta perspicillata) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters.
Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Surf Scoters (Melanitta perspicillata) - 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.
