Argos Platform Transmitting Terminal (PTT) tracking of Adelie penguins at the South Orkney Islands, from 1999-2014

This dataset comprises Argos PTT data for Adelie penguins, Pygoscelid adeliae, at Signy, Powell and Laurie Islands, part of the South Orkney Islands, between December and January 1999-2014. Tags were deployed across the South Orkney Islands (Signy Island, Powell Island and Laurie Island) between December and January (austral summer). The tracking data encompasses the breeding and post-breeding migratory dispersal of chinstrap penguins. The data includes coordinates for satellite uplinks for each tag and respective trip, along with error values for each satellite uplink. Metadata includes additional information about nesting and morphology, when available.

PTT tags were deployed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) personnel and supported by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding and WWF grant GB095701
