This identifier can be a ring number, a name, the same as the associated tag ID, etc. If the data owner does not provide an Animal ID, an internal Movebank animal identifier may sometimes be shown. example: 91876A, Gary same as: individual-local-identifier deployment comments: Additional information about the tag deployment that is not described by other reference data terms. example: This deployment was excluded from analysis because the tag failed. event comments: Additional information about individual records or events in a data set that is not described by other reference data terms. example: we observed the animal foraging (see photo BT25) same as: comments event ID: An identifier for the set of information associated with each record or event in a data set. A unique event ID is assigned to every time-location or other time-measurement record in Movebank. example: 6340565 units: none latitude (decimal degree): The geographic longitude of a location along an animal track as estimated by the processed sensor data. Positive values are east of the Greenwich Meridian, negative values are west of it. example: -121.1761111 units: decimal degrees, WGS84 reference system same as: location lat latitude (UTM): The geographic longitude of the geographic center of a location along an animal track as estimated by the processed sensor data. example: 3628361.84012295 units: meters, WGS84 reference system same as: utm northing local timestamp: The date and time a sensor measurement was taken in the time zone of the study reference location. example: 2008-08-14 15:31:00.000 format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.sss units: specific to the study time zone same as: study local timestamp longitude (decimal degree): The geographic longitude of a location along an animal track as estimated by the processed sensor data. Positive values are east of the Greenwich Meridian, negative values are west of it. example: -121.1761111 units: decimal degrees, WGS84 reference system same as: location long longitude (UTM): The geographic longitude of the geographic center of a location along an animal track as estimated by the processed sensor data. example: 756243.7836 units: meters, WGS84 reference system same as: utm easting sensor type: The type of sensor with which data were collected. Values are chosen from a controlled list: acceleration: The sensor collects acceleration data. accessory measurements: The sensor collects accessory measurements, such as battery voltage. Argos Doppler Shift: The sensor is using Argos Doppler shift for determining position. bird ring: The animal is identified by a ring that has a unique ID. GPS: The sensor uses GPS to find location and stores these. natural mark: The animal is identified by a natural marking. radio transmitter: The sensor is a classical radio transmitter. solar geolocator: The sensor collects light levels, which are used to determine position (for processed locations). solar geolocator raw: The sensor collects light levels, which are used to determine position (for raw light-level measurements). THIS DATASET: Sensor type is 2D videogrammetry, listed as “other”. study: The name of the study in Movebank in which data are stored. study time zone: The time zone at the study reference location. example: Mountain Standard Time units: none tag comments: Additional information about the tag that is not described by other reference data terms. example: custom-made Doppler shift Argos tag with a special altitude sensor tag ID: A unique identifier for the tag, provided by the data owner. If the data owner does not provide a tag ID, an internal Movebank tag identifier may sometimes be shown. example: 2342, ptt_4532 same as: tag local identifier taxon: The scientific name of the species on which the tag was deployed, as defined by the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS, www.itis.gov). If the species name can not be provided, this should be the lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined and that is used in the ITIS taxonomy. Additional information can be provided using the term taxon detail. example: Buteo swainsoni same as: species, animal taxon, individual taxon canonical name timestamp: The date and time a sensor measurement was taken. example: 2008-08-14 18:31:00.000 format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.sss units: UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) or GPS time, which is a few leap seconds different from UTC THIS DATASET: Timestamps are not the same as the actual times of data collection. They are normalized so each trajectory begins at 2009-01-01 12:00:00.000. Data were actually collected during 10 evenings in 2009: June 15th, 22nd, 29th; July 1st, 7th, 8th, 9th, 15th; and August 19th and 25th. UTM zone: The UTM zone, selected based on the location of each event, used to convert locations from decimal degrees to UTM. example: 14N units: none visible: Determines whether an event is visible on the Movebank Search map. Values are calculated automatically, with FALSE indicating that the event has been marked as an outlier by manually marked outlier or algorithm marked outlier. Allowed values are TRUE or FALSE. ----------- More Information For more information about this repository, see www.movebank.org/node/15294, the FAQ at www.movebank.org/node/2220, or contact us at support@movebank.org.
