    Description

    A repository of all ARGOS satellite messages from 1982 to present. Trackers have been used on AWS stations, buoys and numerous species of whales, seals and seabirds.

    ARGOS is a means of sending data back from PTT devices - Position Tracking Terminals. However, the subject does not necessarily have to be moving - as in the case of the Automatic Weather Stations (AWS), which use ARGOS for relaying meteorological data back to Australia.

    Animal species that have been or are currently monitored by the Australian Antarctic Program using the ARGOS system include:

    Grey-headed Albatross
    Black-browed Albatross
    Light mantled sooty albatross
    Australian Fur Seal
    Antarctic Fur Seal
    Weddell Seal
    Ross seal
    Crabeater seal
    Southern Elephant Seal
    Emperor Penguin
    King Penguin
    Macaroni Penguin
    Adelie Penguin
    Pygmy Blue Whale

    Locations in which the ARGOS system is/was being used by the Australian Antarctic Program are:

    Admiralty Bay
    Albatross Island
    Almagro
    Auster Rookery
    Bechervaise Island
    Cape Gantheaume
    Caroline Cove
    Casey
    Davis
    Diego Ramirez
    Dumont d'Urville, Base
    Edmonson Point
    Ildefonso
    Inexpressible Island
    Macquarie Island
    Magnetic Island
    Pedra Branca
    Scullin Monolith
    Shirley Island
    Spit Bay
    Taylor Rookery
    Ufs Island

    Each day, data is retrieved via telnet client from the ARGOS site in France. A batch process parses the data files and inserts into the Data Centre database by 0800 local time. End-users can subscribe to an email describing the recent data uploads.

    Web-based tools are provided to filter the data by bounding box, time span and type of message quality. Finally a optional velocity filter can be applied to remove spurious positions that should not be reachable by that particular species. For example, seal data can be filtered for positions that would require speeds in excess of 10 km/hr. The same tool ascribes species, gender, age class and breeding status to each set of data.

    A separate control allows the filtered data to be published to the general public and/or to OBIS and GBIF via web services.

    Output products include maps, excel spreadsheets and KML files for mapping data on Google Earth.
