Data is the cornerstone of any research project. It is important to not only program your tags properly but to maximize the transmission throughput to the Argos satellites. Learning how to time your transmissions to occur when satellites are overhead can be a labor-intensive process. However, Wildlife Computers made it easy with a Shiny App that will tell you which hours the satellites will be overhead and how many transmissions you should use to reach a certain probability of reception.
Here are the steps you should take in order to use the app:
Look for the Argos Pass Analysis link in the Wildlife Computers Data Portal.
