IMOS - AATAMS Facility Satellite Relay Tagging Program - Delayed mode data

The Australian Animal Tagging And Monitoring System (AATAMS) is a coordinated marine animal tagging project. Satellite Relay Data Loggers (SRDL) (most with CTDs, and some also with fluorometers) are used to explore how marine mammal behaviour relates to their oceanic environment. Loggers developed at the University of St Andrews Sea Mammal Research Unit transmit data in near real time via the Argo satellite system. The Satellite Relay Data Loggers are deployed on marine mammals, including Elephant Seals, Weddell Seals, Australian Fur Seals, Australian Sea Lions, New Zealand Fur Seals. Data is being collected in the Southern Ocean, the Great Australian Bight, and off the South-East Coast of Australia. Data parameters measured by the instruments include time, conductivity (salinity), temperature, speed, fluorescence (available in the future) and depth. The data represented by this record are presented in delayed mode.

澳大利亚动物标记与监测系统（Australian Animal Tagging And Monitoring System, AATAMS）是一项协同开展的海洋动物标记研究项目。该项目采用卫星中继数据记录器（Satellite Relay Data Loggers, SRDL）——多数搭载温盐深仪（CTD），部分还配备荧光计——以探究海洋哺乳动物的行为与其所处海洋环境之间的关联。由圣安德鲁斯大学海洋哺乳动物研究所开发的此类记录器，可通过Argo卫星系统实现近乎实时的数据传输。该卫星中继数据记录器被部署于象海豹、威德尔海豹、澳洲海狗、澳洲海狮以及新西兰海狗等多种海洋哺乳动物身上。数据采集区域涵盖南大洋、澳大利亚大澳大利亚湾以及澳大利亚东南沿海海域。仪器所测量的数据参数包括时间、电导率（盐度）、温度、行进速度、荧光强度（未来可提供）以及水深。本记录所呈现的数据采用延迟模式。
