- Each row represents the number of locations after the corresponding step of data processing. Location Class = LC; attached is when tag is physically on the whale; floating is when a tag has detached from the whale and is floating freely; Argos pre-processing (pre) is removal of LC Z; GPS pre-processing (pre) is removal of locations derived from fewer than five satellites, with residual value > 30, or speed > 30 km/h; matched is when an Argos location is within 5 min of a Fastloc GPS location; interpolated is an Argos location time stamp used for interpolating a position along the Fastloc GPS track to match with the Argos location; raw are unprocessed Fastloc GPS locations. A total of 23 LC-Z locations were removed during pre-processing (13 attached, 0 floating from sperm whales, 9 attached and 1 floating from blue/fin whales), which are not represented in the table. Numbers presented represent location data from 20 ADB tags deployed on sperm whales, eight ADB tags deployed on blue whales, and five ADB tags deployed on fin whales. Data were collected from sperm whales tracked in the Gulf of Mexico during summer 2011 and 2013, and from blue and fin whales tracked off southern California during late summer 2014 and 2015
