These are data collected from Wildlife Computers ear tag platform transmitter terminals (PTT) deployed on polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea during the months of March, April, August, September, and October between 2009 and 2011.

This dataset contains GPS and Argos locations collected by satellite-linked GPS receivers on collars attached to 5 adult female polar bears that were instrumented in the southern Beaufort Sea from April to October 2014. Three of these collars collected both GPS and Argos locations (TGW-4689H-3, Telonics Inc., Mesa, Arizona, USA), while 2 of these collars collected only GPS locations (Iridium Track M, Lotek Wireless Inc., Newmarket, Ontario, Canada).

This data package includes 2 child items with location and activity data from adult female polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea, April-October 2014. Child Item 1: "GPS and Argos Location Data from Adult Female Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus) in the Southern Beaufort Sea, April-October 2014" Child Item 2: "Tri-axial Accelerometer and Conductivity Sensor Data from Adult Female Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus) in the Southern Beaufort Sea, April-October 2014"

This dataset includes accelerometer data collected on collars deployed on female polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea from 2009-2016. The accelerometer was built in to collars by Telonics, Inc. and provides a single activity value of the number of seconds active per time interval of data collection. Data were collected every 15-30 minutes. GPS and ARGOs locations collected via collars were used to generate a CRAWL model, as referenced within the data set, of estimated locations that match the time frame of activity sensor data collection and are provided with this dataset. CRAWL data were also used to determine the habitat (land or sea ice) occupied by the bear at the end of the interval of activity data collection. Temperature data were used to identify denning behavior and activity during denning has been removed from this data set.

This data release contains two tables of information on polar bear distributions in the southern Beaufort Sea during spring, from 2001 to 2016. One table provides location (classified into 5 broad regions) of individual bears during the spring. The other table presents the aerial search effort by year and area.
