Foraging ecology of Adelie penguins at Hop Island, Rauer Group 2012/13

At Hop Island in the Rauer Group during the 2012/13 field season combinations of data loggers were deployed on different adelie penguins. The data loggers were GPS (two types), time-depth recorders and accelerometers. The accelerometer records head movement to identify when the bird captures prey. The units were later retrieved and the data downloaded. A document included with the data has further information about the data.
The data were collected following protocols approved by the Australian Antarctic Animal Ethics Committee and supported through the Australian Antarctic program through Australian Antarctic Science project 4087.
Data from GPS units deployed at Hop Island in 2011/12 is described by the metadata record with ID AAS_4087_adelie_penguin_tracking_hop_island_2011_12.

2012/13年度野外考察期间，在劳尔群岛（Rauer Group）的霍普岛（Hop Island），研究人员为多只不同个体的阿德利企鹅（Adélie penguin）部署了组合式数据记录仪。所用设备涵盖两类GPS、时间深度记录仪以及加速度计。其中加速度计可记录企鹅的头部运动，以此识别其捕获猎物的时刻。后续研究人员回收了全部设备并下载了存储的数据，随数据集附带的文档中包含了关于本数据的更多详细信息。
本数据集的数据采集工作遵循了澳大利亚南极动物伦理委员会（Australian Antarctic Animal Ethics Committee）批准的实验规程，并获得了澳大利亚南极计划（Australian Antarctic Program）下属的澳大利亚南极科学项目4087（Australian Antarctic Science Project 4087）的资助支持。
2011/12年度于霍普岛部署的GPS设备所采集的数据，其相关说明可通过ID为AAS_4087_adelie_penguin_tracking_hop_island_2011_12的元数据记录获取。
