Data on the number of AIS vessel detections within 500m of each CPOD. Raw AIS data for 2017 for the Moray Firth were supplied to BOWL by Astra Paging Ltd., Sliven, Bulgaria. This AIS data consisted of the location (latitude and longitude) of each AIS vessel at 5 minute intervals. These data were processed in R to select only AIS vessel locations within 500 m of each CPOD when the CPOD was operational (i.e. deployed and recording data). Filename = “Graham_BOWL_cMMMP_5min_boat_withineach_500mCPODbuffer _data_2019-01-18.csv” Five columns = MMMSI.x, DATE.TIME.x, Deployment.number, BOAT.LATITUDE, BOAT.LONGITUDE. MMMSI.x is the unique 9 digit vessel identifier. DATE.TIME.x is the time of the vessel detection. Deployment.number is the CPOD deployment to which that vessel detection refers. BOAT.LATITUDE is the latitude in decimal degrees for that vessel detection. BOAT.LONGITUDE is the longitude in decimal degrees for that vessel detection.
