Data and R scripts used to estimate albatross posture in flight from magnetometer data

Resource title: A novel approach to seabird posture estimation: finding roll and yaw angles of dynamic soaring albatrosses using tri-axial magnetometers

Resource DOI: https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.231363

This is a dataset recorded by a suite of bio-loggers from three different albatross species breeding on Marion Island.

The dataset includes location (GPS), as well as body angles (roll angles) derived from magnetometer data as well as roll angles estimated from bird-borne video loggers.
