ARGOS Satellite tracking

A repository of all ARGOS satellite messages from 1982 to present. Trackers have been used on Automatic Weather Stations, buoys and numerous species of whales, seals and birds.

Profiles

Profiles are control metadata that subset the data from a deployment (or part thereof) of a Position Tracking Terminal (PTT) attached to a platform. That platform can be an animal or inanimate object such as an Automatic Weather Station. The majority of the data that can be accessed here is for animal tracking.
