The dataset will be made publicly available when appropriate post-processing is complete. The time-frame for this is currently uncertain. These data are currently stored in a working area of the Australian Antarctic Data Centre. The data file currently contains data from 2006 onwards.

Brief description

The dataset comprises records of crossings by Adelie penguins of a weighbridge and gateway established on Bechervaise Island. The weighbridge and gateway are positioned so that most or all of the penguins breeding in a set of sub-colonies on the island cross the weighbridge when they leave the colony to forage and when they return from foraging. The gateway records the time of each crossing, the dynamic weight of the penguin as it crosses, and the identity of penguins that have been sub-cutaneously tagged. The weighbridge and gateway operate continuously throughout the austral breeding season. The data are currently in an unprocessed form.
