Great #shearwater Mattacheese remains off Uruguay. Cool maps possible w/ newly available #environmental #data from @CLS_Group. Tracking data combined w/ sea surface temp shows Mattacheese staying mostly in cooler waters close to the coast #trackseabirds #dataviz #seabirds pic.twitter.com/WyJ4qXR03a

Well hello oceanographic data in @CLS_Group Argos viewer! 5 Long-tailed Jaegers in a coastal zone of high primary productivity (aka the Humboldt Current), and 3 in a productivity front in the #HighSeas. Pretty nifty to match oceanography with #seabird movements in real time! pic.twitter.com/wpd6TGFcjB
