Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) - Raw Data

This metadata document describes the data contained in the "Argos Raw Data" (Child Item 2) of this data release. This data release contains all data collected by the Argos System from 9 satellite transmitters attached to Marbled murrelets in Washington state and Alaska, 2008 and 2013. Five data files are included in the "Argos Raw Data" (Child Item 2) of this data release. Two data files (with identical content) contain the raw Argos DIAG (Diagnostic) data, one in the legacy verbose ASCII format and one in a tabular Comma Separate Value (CSV) format. Two other data files (with identical content) contain the raw Argos DS (Dispose) data, one in the legacy verbose ASCII format and one in a tabular CSV format. The fifth file, "deploymentAttributes", contains one record for each transmitter deployment in a CSV formatted table. The deployment attributes file contains information such as when the transmitter was attached to the animal, when tracking of a live animal ended, and a variety of additional variables describing the animal and transmitter. This attribute table is identical to the "deploymentAttributes" table in the "Argos Processed Data" (Child Item 1) of this data release.
