Progress Code: completed Statement: See the quality flags associated with each PTT device. Quality flags can be interpreted as follows: 0 - greater than 1000 metres 1 - less than 1000 metres 2 - less than 350 metres 3 - less than 150 metres A - 3 message location B - 2 message location Z - unvalidated location See the ARGOS website for further information. This dataset contains the results from satellite tracking the movements of Adelie Penguins (Pygoscellis adeliae) from Edmonson Point in the Terra Nova Bay region, Antarctica. By the use of satellite fixes the foraging locations of the penguins were determined. Monitoring took place between 1994 and 2001. This work was completed as part of ASAC project 2205 (ASAC_2205), 'Adelie penguin research and monitoring in support of the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Project'.
