## ATN Vision 

*“**Establish a National Animal Telemetry Observing Network (ATN) under the US IOOS capable of providing observations for ocean modeling and forecasting and a science-based source of information crucial for effective Ecosystem Based Management (EBM).” *
- The ATN will:
- Facilitate integration of animal telemetry instrument with existing observing systems
**Improve data standards, management, sharing capability and establish a cyber- infrastructure for archiving and displaying telemetry data  **
- Serve as a focal point for the development of new sensors technology
- Bring permanence and sustainability to a national telemetry network
- Expand animal telemetry outreach and education programs.

## POST/OTN 

- POST/OTN

- TOPP

- GulfTOPP

- MATOS

- Current ATN Data Management Scattered and Less interoperable

## Slide 5

**Notes:**
Not a new idea but one whose time has come

## Current version of CTD tag:

***NOPP funding***

**Notes:**
A bit about how it is done
Tag glued to fur of marine mammals, in case of ellies on the head.
Current tag deployed on a southern elephant seal at South Georgia.
CTD sensor and SMRU standard SRDL housed in epoxy.
Measures 11.6 x 7.3 x 5.4 cm, mass ~ 260 g in seawater.
Temperature: Platinum  Resistance Temperature Detector, factory calibrated to ±0.003°C, guaranteed field accuracy ± 0.01°C 
Conductivity: Inductive cell, stated accuracy to within ± 0.01mS/m, but tests show they are generally within ± 0.005mS/m
Single lithium D cell battery required to last for a period of eight months of continuous operation. 
SMRU expertise: Sophisticated onboard processing software.
Tags monitor their own activity to ensure that data transmission is scheduled to give optimum data recovery versus power consumption.

**Notes:**
Three tags in red were developed directly with funds from this project
 All tags measure diving behaviour
 Three measure location (two transmit location)

## Slide 10

**Notes:**
coordinating and connecting scattered ATN data so that information is comprehensive, clear, usable, and available to inform decision making.

## Real-time data flow

- user

**Notes:**
Data flow

## Three interlocking parts (Receiver Metadata, Tag Metadata, and Detections) must be assembled to recreate an animal track 

- Must keep track of Receiver Histories
- Metadata may be fairly complex:
- Instrument attributes (e.g. tag and receiver programming)
- Positions and position errors
- Time (tracks)
- Quality control
- Attribution for objects served

## Slide 20

## Slide 21

**Notes:**
The user can also display the track over SST or Chl a for a given date along the track.

**Notes:**
By clicking on a track it is possible to see the points along it where profile data are available. In this view, the user sees the profile from the date selected (12/10/2010) as well as those from two days before and two days after.

## Slide 24

**Notes:**
Here we see a zoomed-in view of a single sturgeon track, with individual buoys shown as glowing green icons. By clickign the buoy icons, the user can either map all the tags that have been detected at that receiver, or display a list of those tags.

## Economics of Tagging – an Example

- 15-20 tags per year will provide a comprehensive spatial and temporal coverage of most of the target region (N Atl/Arctic; Anderson et al. 2009)
- Battery life – 10-12 months (molt)
- 12,000 profiles (CTD)
- Near-real time data
- Tags are ~$5K; <$10/profile
