        <procdesc>METHODS - FIELD:

        We collected continuous measures of tri-axial accelerometer at 16 Hz and conductivity data at 1 Hz from 6 female polar bears of the southern Beaufort Sea in April 2014-2016 over 8-11 days.

        Archival loggers (TDR10-X-340D, Wildlife Computers Inc., Redmond, WA) recorded tri-axial acceleration (Surge (x), Heave (y), and Sway (z)) and time-of-day at 16 Hz and conductivity at 1 Hz.</procdesc>
