Supporting Datasets for 'The longest documented distance traveled by a West Indian manatee'

This dataset contains multiple sources of geospatial and environmental data used for the analysis of Tico's journey. This is a West-Indian manatee that was rescued, rehabilitated and tracked after release. Tico traveled approximately 4,017 km over 62 days through deep oceanic waters. Correlating Tico's trajectory and velocity with surface currents revealed the influence of the North Brazil Current (NBC) and its vortices on his trajectory. The data integrates satellite remote sensing, ocean reanalysis, .

The dataset include:

1. Geographic locations of Tico (Delemetry Data)

2. General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO)
   

3. NEMO - Global Ocean Physics Analysis and Forecast data: Surface current data from the NEMO model provided by CMEMS (GLORYS reanalysis).
   

4. HYCOM Global Ocean Forecasting System (GOFS) 3.1 Analysis:
   

5. OSCAR - Ocean Surface Current Analyses Real-time
   

6. Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP)
   

7. Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurements (IMERG)
