Divepdt.7z.003 Apr 2026

PDT files provide a summary of the vertical ocean environment encountered by a tagged animal. Instead of recording every second of a dive, the tag summarizes the water column's temperature at specific depth intervals to conserve battery and satellite bandwidth.

The file is the third segment of a multi-part compressed archive containing Dive Profile-Depth-Temperature (PDT) data . These files are typically generated by satellite telemetry tags, such as those from Wildlife Computers , used to track the behavior and environment of marine animals like sea turtles, sharks, and marine mammals.
