©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Time depth recorders (TDR's) manufactured by Wildlife Computers, Redmond WA) are designed for studies of seals, penguins, fish, and marine mammals. Standard TDR's are mounted externally on the animal's body, where they record temperature and depth. See more information from the manufacturer.

| Copepod species abundances from bongo tows, Arabian Sea JGOFS Process cruises R/V Thomas G. Thompson TT050, TT054 from Aug-Nov 1995 (Arabian Sea project, Arabian Sea Diapausing Copepods project) | Attached to bongo net frame. | TDR |
| Diving behavior of harbor seals, specifically the duration of dives made by seals, determined by satellite-linked time-depth recorder (TDR) and GPS receivers, near Protection Island, WA, 2009 (Seal_response_to_prey project) | A combined satellite-linked time-depth recorder (TDR) and Fastloc GPS receiver (Wildlife Computers, model MK10AF) was epoxied to each animal's pelage on the dorsal midline. | Wildlife Computers TDR |
| Diving behavior of harbor seals, specifically the proportion of time spent per depth range, determined by satellite-linked time-depth recorder (TDR) and GPS receivers, for dives made by seals near Protection Island, WA, 2009 | A combined satellite-linked time-depth recorder (TDR) and Fastloc GPS receiver (Wildlife Computers, model MK10AF) was epoxied to each animal's pelage on the dorsal midline. | Wildlife Computers TDR |

| Diving behavior of harbor seals, specifically the number of dives per depth range made by seals, determined by satellite-linked time-depth recorder (TDR) and GPS receivers, near Protection Island, WA, 2009 (Seal_response_to_prey project) | A combined satellite-linked time-depth recorder (TDR) and Fastloc GPS receiver (Wildlife Computers, model MK10AF) was epoxied to each animal's pelage on the dorsal midline. | Wildlife Computers TDR |
| Locations of satellite-tagged harbor seals in the San Juan Islands, WA from 2007-2009 | TDR's were epoxied to seals along the dorsal midline. All TDR tags were equipped with an Eco-tech floatation pack and a VHF radio transmitter to allow for tracking and retrieval of the device once it became detached from the animal. TDR sensors were set to sample every 10 seconds and record only dives >2 m in depth or >30 s in duration. In 2009, the TDR's used contained an MK10-AF Argos transmitter. | Wildlife Computers TDR |
