GPS and Argos Location Data from Adult Female Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus) in the Southern Beaufort Sea, April-October 2014

Description

This dataset contains GPS and Argos locations collected by satellite-linked GPS receivers on collars attached to 5 adult female polar bears that were instrumented in the southern Beaufort Sea from April to October 2014. Three of these collars collected both GPS and Argos locations (TGW-4689H-3, Telonics Inc., Mesa, Arizona, USA), while 2 of these collars collected only GPS locations (Iridium Track M, Lotek Wireless Inc., Newmarket, Ontario, Canada).
