CATS tag example deployment

Biologging tags are capable of capturing high-resolution data from cryptic
species that spend a significant portion of their lives in remote or
inaccessible environments, such as below the sea surface. The advancement
of biologging technologies over the last ~30 years has lead to an
explosion of research into the hidden lives of these elusive animals.
Information about locomotion, feeding, migratory patterns, reproduction,
and metabolism have all been determined using data obtained with
biologging tags. CATS (customized animal tracking solutions) tags are one
of the newest platforms for this type of research and integrate
high-resolution video with a suite of inertial and environment sensors.
For the last 5 years, we as members of the Goldbogen lab at Stanford
University's Hopkins Marine Station have been using CATS tags to
study the biomechanics and behavior of large baleen whale species. In the
course of this work, we have tested and streamlined a workflow and set of
tools to integrate multiple streams of raw sensor data into a simple data
packet that can be used for further analyses. This dataset is an example
CATS tag deployment for training use with the CATS toolkit.
