| Definition | The type of sensor with which data were collected. All sensors are associated with a tag id, and tags can contain multiple sensor types. Each event record in Movebank is assigned one sensor type. If values from multiple sensors are reported in a single event, the primary sensor is used. Values are chosen from a controlled list: acceleration = The sensor collects acceleration data; accessory-measurements = The sensor collects accessory measurements, such as battery voltage; acoustic-telemetry = The sensor transmits an acoustic signal that is detected by receivers to determine location; argos-doppler-shift = The sensor location is estimated by Argos using Doppler shift; atlas-geolocation = The sensor location is estimated by an ATLAS system; barometer = The sensor records air or water pressure; bird-ring = The animal is identified by a band or ring that has a unique identifier; derived = Information is derived from other sensor data; geolocation-api = The location is determined based on detection by nearby cell towers or other wireless network connectors using the World Wide Web Consortium Geolocation API Recommendation; gnss = The sensor uses one or more global navigation satellite systems to determine location; gps = The sensor uses GPS to determine location; gyroscope = The sensor records angular velocity; heart-rate = The sensor records or is used to calculate heart rate; magnetometer = The sensor records the magnetic field; natural-mark = The animal is identified by a unique natural marking; orientation = Quaternion components describing the orientation of the tag are derived from accelerometer and gyroscope measurements; proximity = The sensor identifies proximity to other tags; radio-transmitter = The sensor transmits a radio signal that is detected by receivers to determine location; sigfox-geolocation = The sensor location is determined by Sigfox using the received signal strength indicator; solar-geolocator = The sensor collects light levels, which are used to determine position (for processed locations); solar-geolocator-raw = The sensor collects light levels, which are used to determine position (for raw light-level measurements); solar-geolocator-twilight = The sensor collects light levels, which are used to determine position (for twilights calculated from light-level measurements); tdr = The sensor is a time-depth recorder.
