Description
This is the OBIS extraction of False killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens) location data from a satellite telemetry tag (ptt id 94808) deployed in the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, and the North Pacific Ocean from 2009-10-14 to 2009-10-25, deployment id 573b636a01fbb070da6acc8a from the U.S. Animal Telemetry Network (ATN). This extraction is a subset of detections intended to be useful for the OBIS network. The source dataset, containing the full set of detections, is available at NCEI: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0303304. The entire collection of satellite telemetry location and profile data collected from satellite-linked tags deployed on marine animals and contributed by organizations that are part of the U.S. Animal Telemetry Network (ATN) can be found at: https://doi.org/10.25921/wp4e-ph20
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1 records.
2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
Versions
The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.

Project Data
Movements of marine animals are a fundamental element of ocean ecosystem dynamics. Telemetry, the use of electronic tag technology to study animal movement, is a critical tool for the biological monitoring of marine life. The multi-agency U.S. Animal Telemetry Network (ATN) has been established to provide unity, stability, and continuity to the national infrastructure that facilitates the collection, management, and availability of this marine animal telemetry data.

Method step description:
- This resource was created by the Animal Telemetry Network as a summarized representation of animal presence determined by satellite telemetry tagging efforts. Darwin Core (DwC) records were extracted from the ATN database and filtered and summarized according to international agreed-upon standards. The source dataset, containing the full set of detections, is available at NCEI: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0303304.
- Wildlife Computers SPOT5 tag (serial number: 09S0384) attached to false killer whale.
