Each vessel contained two sightings platforms running concurrently – primary and tracker. This dataset includes sightings from the tracker platform. Sightings from the primary platform are registered in <a href='/dataset/1150' target='_blank'>SCANS II cetacean sightings on primary platform of vessel surveys 2005</a>. Effort or vessel tracks for these surveys are provided with the primary platform dataset. Survey conditions such as sea state, glare, swell, wind are found in the effort data. In the tracker platform, Big-eye binoculars were used. The trackers used to track groups of animals as they came passed the boat and record them accordingly. However, this dataset does not contain such duplicates.2005062920050728ground conditionCompleteNone plannedNorth Atlantic Ocean-11.7612.6262.135.95 NoneMarine Animal SurveyMarine BiologyMarine mammalsSea turtlesVisual SightingVesselNoneNorth Atlantic OceanEuropean Atlantic shelf watersTaxon coveredMarine mammalsIntegrated Taxonomic Information SystemUnknownNot applicableDownloaded April, 2004http://www.itis.usda.gov/Refer to the contact information of the datasetRefer to the contact information of the datasetmailing and physical address

Coordinate precision differs from 2-5 digits among surveys. 'NA' and '99' in numeric fields in the original data were replaced with null. Permissible values for date and time and coordinates were validated by the data provider and the OBIS-SEAMAP data manager. Species identification by the data provider was matched with Integrated Taxonomic Information System. Duplicate observations for the same group of animals tracked were excluded.Data were put through the OBIS-SEAMAP data registration steps.20140414Point 1e-051e-05Decimal degrees D_WGS_1984WGS_1984 6378137.000000298.257224 Biogeographic dataBiogeographic dataNot applicableoidUnique ID number (generated by OBIS-SEAMAP)Data providerUnique ID number (generated by OBIS-SEAMAP)indexIndexData providerIndexgpsindexGPS indexData providerGPS indexobs_dateDate of observationData provider2005-06-292005-07-28obs_timeTime of the observation (local time zone converted from UTC by OBIS-SEAMAP)Data provider03:14:0420:47:20datetime_utcDate and time of observation in UTCData provider2005-06-29 13:49:022005-07-28 12:26:29sightingnumberSighting numberData providerSighting numberbuttonButtonData providerButtonreticleReticle in degreesData provider0.0105.000reticlelineReticle lineData providerReticle linesp_obsSpecies name recordedData providerSpecies name recordedsp_tsnTaxonomic Serial Number added by OBIS-SEAMAPData providerTaxonomic Serial Number added by OBIS-SEAMAPData providermultispeciesFlag of multiple speciesData providerFlag of multiple specieslownumberLow number of number of animalsData providerLow number of number of animalsobs_countbest estimate of number of animalsData provider1200highnumberHigh number of number of animalsData providerHigh number of number of animalscalvesNumber of calvesData provider05cueRecord of the initial cue for the sightingData providerRecord of the initial cue for the sightingData providerbehaviourBehaviorData providerBehaviorData provideraspectvalueAspect valueData providerAspect valueduplicatestatusDuplicate statusData providerDuplicate statusduplsightingnoDuplicate sighting numberData providerDuplicate sighting numbermatchstatusMatch statusData providerMatch statusmatchsightnoMatch sighting numberData providerMatch sighting numberendtrackEnd trackData providerEnd trackobserverObserver IDData providerObserver IDplatformPlatformData providerPlatformestimatedangleEstimated angleData provider0360radialdistanceRadial distanceData provider010074buttonrefButtonRefData providerButtonRefmeasuredbearingMeasured bearing (calculated later using software)Data provider-130.00000000112.61986540measureddistanceMeasured distance (calculated later using software)Data provider16.7485507280.460450transectTransect numberData providerTransect numberlatitudeLatitude in decimal degreesData provider35.95000062.100000longitudeLongitude in decimal degreesData provider-11.76000012.620000secondsSecondsData providerSecondstransect_originalTransect originalData providerTransect originalik_effdefinition not providedData providerdefinition not providedcheck_radialdistancedefinition not providedData providerdefinition not providedpdistdefinition not providedData providerdefinition not providedtimesseendefinition not providedData providerdefinition not providedvessel_codeVessel codeData providerVessel codeData providergeomGeometry field added by OBIS-SEAMAPData providerGeometry field added by OBIS-SEAMAPThis section explains attributes included in the original dataset.
