DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: [Te_Alert data set. Operative temperature values collected at our Alert site using 3-D printed operative temperature thermometers]

1. Number of variables: 16

2. Number of cases/rows: 843,773

3. Variable List: 

Site == The field site were 3-D models were placed. All sites are Alert for this data set

Wave == The specific deployment when models were set up. For example, models were deployed (i.e., Wave 1), collected to download data and then deployed again (i.e, Wave 2)

Location == The location at Alert where models were deployed

Microhabitat == The immediate condition around the 3D model. Either Dry, Snow, partially exposed (PE), or fully exposed(FE)

Patch == The specific patch in which a 3D model was deployed within a site. Models were deployed as groups (i.e., patches. ~ 10 per patch) within a site and the number patches varied depending on the size of the location

Snow_melt_pct == The percentage of snow melted around the wooden base of our 3D models upon retrieval to download data. Only applies to the Winter life history stage.

Life_stage == Corresponds to the life-history stage of a bunting depending on the date. Consisted of Winter, Singing, Breeding, Chick rearing, Juveniles rearing, and Juvenile roaming

Model_ID == Specific ID of the 3D model

Latitude == Latitude position of where the 3D model was placed

Longitude == Longitude position of where the 3D model was placed

Elevation == Elevation of where the 3D model was placed [Meters above sea level]

Orientation == Cardinal direction in which the 3D model was facing ( 0 -359 degrees)

Date == The date on which operative temperature was recorded

Time == The time at which operative temperature was recorded

date == The Date and Time columns combined

Te == Operative temperature (C)

4. Missing data codes: Missing data represented as NA
