Schmidt JH and Flamme MJ. 2018. Monitoring yellow-billed loons in Alaska: ARCN Inventory and Monitoring Network, data quality standards. Natural Resource Report. NPS/ARCN/NRR—2018/1737. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
The purpose of this report is to document the standards used by the National Park Service (NPS) Arctic Network (ARCN) Inventory and Monitoring Program for activities related to the collection, processing, analysis, and publication of Yellow-billed Loon monitoring data as described in the Yellow-billed Loon Monitoring Protocol for the Arctic Network, Alaska (Flamme et al. 2018; https://irma.nps.gov/App/Reference/Profile/2216938). This plan also serves as a guide for all ARCN personnel who are involved in protocol/program activities and as a resource for identifying memoranda, publications, and other literature that describe associated techniques and requirements in more detail. The format and content of this document borrows heavily from Wilson and Shepherd (2017), as well as Rattenbury et al. (2017) and Rattenbury and Schmidt (2017).
