Fig. 5

Time-series message reception for 8 assessment tags in the time-series only programming configuration. Each block represents 48 time-series data points (= 4 h of data at our sampling period of 5 min). Colors denote if a message was received in the field only (via Argos Goniometer), from the Argos satellite system only or from both sources. Only successfully decoded messages are included in this plot. Tag10 never transmitted a successfully decoded time-series message. Note that total length of record varies as tags are programmed to record for 14 calendar days as opposed to exactly 336 h. Malfunctioning tags (Tag12, 14) were truncated to 14 days for comparison purposes
