GIS data derived from 'Distribution of Weddell seals pupping at the Vestfold Hills' dataset

This dataset represents Weddell Seal haulout and pupping sites in the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica.
The data were sourced from a dataset compiled by Samantha Lake and described by the metadata record 'Distribution of Weddell seals pupping at the Vestfold Hills'. She used a reporting grid described by the metadata record 'Weddell seal reporting grid of the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica' to show observations made over 24 years (pupping areas) and 28 years (non-breeding areas). The map Samantha produced of pupping areas is linked to the metadata record 'Distribution of Weddell seals pupping at the Vestfold Hills'.

Polygons were generated by copying relevant grid rectangles from a digital version of the reporting grid, referring to the maps produced by Samantha; the grid rectangles used were those in which there had been greater than 20 observations (pupping), 17 observations (non-breeding).
The data was used in an A3 map of the Vestfold Hills published by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre in October 2001 and which is available from a Related URL below.

The data are included in the data available for download from a Related URL below.
The data conform to the SCAR Feature Catalogue which includes data quality information. See a Related URL below.
Data described by this metadata record has Dataset_id = 155.
Each feature has a Qinfo number which, when entered at the 'Search datasets & quality' tab, provides data quality information for the feature.

本数据集收录了南极洲福尔斯丘（Vestfold Hills）区域内威德尔海豹（Weddell Seal）的上岸休憩位点与产仔位点。
本数据集源自萨曼莎·莱克（Samantha Lake）编制的原始数据集，其对应的元数据记录为《南极洲福尔斯丘威德尔海豹产仔分布》。她采用元数据记录《南极洲福尔斯丘威德尔海豹观测报告网格》中定义的观测网格，对24年的产仔区域观测数据与28年的非繁殖区域观测数据进行呈现。萨曼莎制作的产仔区域地图与上述元数据记录相关联。
多边形要素通过复制观测报告网格数字版本中的相关网格矩形生成，制作过程参考了萨曼莎绘制的地图；所选用的网格矩形需满足：产仔区域的观测次数大于20次，非繁殖区域的观测次数大于17次。
