Summary, Etc. Note: |
Abstract: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game have cooperated since 1984 to develop and evaluate satellite telemetry as a means of overcoming the high costs and logistical problems of conventional VHF (Very High Frequency) radiotelemetry systems. Detailed locational and behavioral data on caribou, polar bears, and other large mammals in Alaska have been obtained using the Argos Data Collection and Location System (DCLS). This report includes documentation for computer software packages for processing Argos data and presents developments in transmitter design, data retrieval using a local user terminal, computer software, and sensor development and calibration. |
