Northern elephant seal tracking and diving – processed data

Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) have been integral to the development and progress of biologging technology and movement data analysis. Adult female elephant seals at Año Nuevo State Park and other colonies along the west coast of North America were tracked annually from 2004 to 2020 for a total of 653 instrument deployments and 561 recoveries. These high-resolution diving and location data have been compiled, curated, and processed. This repository has netCDF files containing the raw tracking and diving data. The raw data are available in a second repository (https://doi.org/10.7291/D10D61).
