IMOS - Animal Tracking Facility Satellite Relay Tagging Program

动物跟踪设施（以前称为澳大利亚动物跟踪和监测系统（AATAMS））是一个协调的海洋动物标记项目。 <br /> <br /> 卫星中继数据记录仪（SRDL）（大多数带有CTD，有些还带有荧光计）用于探索海洋哺乳动物行为与海洋环境的关系。圣安德鲁斯大学海洋哺乳动物研究所开发的记录仪通过Argo卫星系统以接近真实的时间传输数据。<br /> <br /> 卫星中继数据记录器部署在海洋哺乳动物身上，包括象海豹、威德尔海豹、澳大利亚海豹、澳大利亚海狮、新西兰海豹。这些仪器测量的数据参数包括时间、电导率（盐度）、温度、速度、荧光（将来可用）和深度。<br /> <br /> 正在南大洋、大澳大利亚湾和澳大利亚东南海岸收集数据。

The Animal Tracking Facility (formerly known as the Australian Animal Tracking And Monitoring System (AATAMS)) is a coordinated marine animal tagging project. <br /> <br /> Satellite Relay Data Loggers (SRDL) (most with CTDs, and some also with fluorometers) are used to explore how marine mammal behaviour relates to their oceanic environment. Loggers developed at the University of St Andrews Sea Mammal Research Unit transmit data in near real time via the Argo satellite system.<br /> <br /> The Satellite Relay Data Loggers are deployed on marine mammals, including Elephant Seals, Weddell Seals, Australian Fur Seals, Australian Sea Lions, New Zealand Fur Seals. Data parameters measured by the instruments include time, conductivity (salinity), temperature, speed, fluorescence (available in the future) and depth.<br /> <br /> Data is being collected in the Southern Ocean, the Great Australian Bight, and off the South-East Coast of Australia.
