Description

Seabird Survey Effort Log

These data are the logistics surrounding the Bird Studies Observations, rather than the observations themselves.

PI NOTES:

1. Ice_Cover_Type is based on the ASPeCt (Antarctic Sea-Ice Process and Climate) classification system for sea ice and brash. Glacial ice listed as bergs or bergy bits.

2. Time and Date can be used in conjunction with alongtrack data to find position information.
