Satellite Tagging Observation Summary

Name- "Mystic"
Seal Tag - Tag #27582

• "Mystic" Satellite Tag Chart

---

Here is one month of compiled status messages from "Mystic". Depth is the deepest depth in feet recorded in the 24 hours prior to transmission. Signals is the total number of signals sent by the tag. Time1 is surface time in minutes for the 6 hours prior to transmission. Time 2 is surface time 6 hours before time1. Volts is the tag voltage. (We hope to get at least 10,000 transmissions, but we only post a percentage on WhaleNet. As the battery wears we should see power start to drop. Tag voltage has been a bit irregular, probably due to temperature changes since these tags are pretty sensitive to temperature.) Days is the number of days the tag has been sending signals.
