dc.description.abstract | The software routines for data sampling and processing that are implemented on-board telemetry devices (tags)
called Conductivity-Temperature-Depth Satellite Relay Data Loggers (CTD-SRDLs) enable the simultaneous collection of
biological and
in-situ
environmental data by animal-platforms over periods of weeks to months, despite severe energy
and bandwidth limitations imposed by their relatively small size. This extended operational lifetime is made possible by
the use of software protocols on-board the tags that manage sensors, data collection, storage, compression and
transmission to ensure that the most useful data are sent
at appropriate resolution while minimizing redundancy.
While tag software is tailored to the particular species under study and the questions being addressed with a
given field deployment, the philosophy behind Sea Mammal R
esearch Unit Instrumentation Group (SMRU-IG) software
protocols is to adopt a general set of principles to achieve the best results within the energy and bandwidth constraints.
Here, we discuss these and review the general protocol that is used to simultaneously collect information on
geographical movements, diving behaviour and in-situ oceanographic information from marine mammals. | en_US |
