We may have a problem.
Attached are a couple of maps of the last few
days of signals from
Wadadli. It appears that he has headed to the
coast in mid-coast Maine
near Port Clyde. The problem is that he
stopped sending signals about
six hours before his tag was due to start a duty
cycle on Wednesday. No
signals yesterday and none so far today. From
the previous data it
appears that he headed in to shor and may
have hauled out. This may
have shut his tag down if he stayed out of the
water. It may also mean
that his tag was damaged somehow when he
got to shore, or he scraped the
thing off on a rock someplace. In any event time
will tell if we get
any more signals.
I have sent these maps and the data to the folks
at MAL as they have a
number of volunteers in the area and I have
asked them to see if they
can check the coast in the areas of his last
transmissions. Given how
sparse the population is up there he could be
ashore without anyone
reporting it.
Hopefully he is just sleeping on a warm rock
and we will wake him up and
get him to go back to work.
I'll check the data tomorrow,althou I will be gone
next week (at the
same meeting you are going to Mike). So I may
not be able to check
data. Maybe I can pull some strings at the
meeting.
later,
