Weddell seal tracking and diving data from expedition FIL2021

DOI

Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) were instrumented during expedition PS124 (2021) for the purpose of deployments with satellite transmitters. The deployments (n=10) were located in the Filchner-Outflow-System (FOS), southern Weddell Sea. The seals (7 female, 3 male) were captured along the ships' tracks during ahead flights of the board helicopter and immobilised and instrumented on pack ice with Argos-linked (CLS, Toulouse, France) satellite-relayed dive loggers combined with CTD's (CTD-SRDLs, Sea Mammal Research Unit, UK) to investigate their ranging and foraging behaviour in the context of oceanographic features. Six of the ten CTD-SRDLs provided data. The average lifetime of PTTs was 124.7 days ( MIN 2; MAX 233). The entire workflow and data processing routines are outlined in a data processing report.
