LTER Antarctic satellite telemetry of humpback whales Citation Curtice C., A. Friedlaender, P. Halpin, D. Johnston, H. Ducklow and N. Gales. 2015. LTER Antarctic satellite telemetry of humpback whales. Data downloaded from OBIS-SEAMAP (http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/1261) on yyyy-mm-dd. https://marineinfo.org/id/dataset/5356 Contact: Curtice, Corrie ; Friedlaender, Ari ; Halpin, Patrick ; Johnston, David ; Ducklow, Hugh ; Gales, Nick Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.Notes: Only data aggregated per 1-degree cell are available through OBIS. The non-aggregated data are available through the OBIS-SEAMAP Portal Description This data is from 5 humpback whales that were tagged in the Western Antarctic Peninsula in 2012. The tags were SPOT5 Platform Transmitting Terminals. Tags were programmed to transmit between 00:00 and 04:00, and between 12:00 and 16:00 (GMT) daily, and were activated upon first dive after tagging. more The purpose of this effort is to deepen the understanding of movement patterns and behaviors of humpback whales. This information is important to better understand the relationships between whales and their prey in an increasingly warming Western Antarctic Peninsula. Research was conducted under grant award ANT-0823101 and NMFS permit 14097, ACA permit 2009-013, and Duke University IACUC A049-112-02. Research was conducted under a collaboration with the National Science Foundation Office of Polar Program’s Palmer Long-term Ecological Research Program and the Australian Antarctic division. Only data aggregated per 1-degree cell are available through OBIS. The non-aggregated data are available from the OBIS SEAMAP Portal.
