batteryType

string

Battery type used (e.g., 'AA alkaline x3', 'AA lithium x3', 'USB power bank', 'solar panel').

  • maxGraphemes: 64

createdAt

requiredstring · datetime

Timestamp of record creation in the ATProto PDS.

decimalLatitude

string

Decimal latitude of the deployment location in WGS84 (e.g., '-3.7452'). Aligns with dwc:decimalLatitude.

  • maxGraphemes: 32

decimalLongitude

string

Decimal longitude of the deployment location in WGS84 (e.g., '-62.2159'). Aligns with dwc:decimalLongitude.

deployedAt

requiredstring · datetime

Date and time the device was placed and activated at the deployment location.

deviceModel

requiredstring

Recording device model name (e.g., 'AudioMoth 1.2.0', 'AudioMoth 1.1.0', 'Wildlife Acoustics Song Meter SM4', 'Cornell Lab Swift'). Aligns with AC ac:captureDevice.

  • maxGraphemes: 128

deviceSerialNumber

string

Device serial number for inventory tracking and cross-referencing recordings.

  • maxGraphemes: 64

equipmentRef

string · at-uri

AT-URI of the app.gainforest.equipment inventory record for the physical unit used in this deployment. Prefer this link over the freeform deviceModel/deviceSerialNumber strings when the unit is registered.

eventRef

string · at-uri

AT-URI of the dwc.event sampling event this deployment is part of.

firmwareVersion

string

Firmware version loaded on the device at time of deployment (e.g., '1.8.1').

  • maxGraphemes: 64

gain

string

Gain setting configured on the device (e.g., 'low', 'medium', 'high', 'medium-high', '36dB'). AudioMoth-specific values: low/medium/high/medium-high/medium-low.

  • maxGraphemes: 32

habitat

string

Brief habitat description at the deployment site (e.g., 'primary rainforest edge, closed canopy ~30m'). Aligns with dwc:habitat.

  • maxGraphemes: 512

microphoneType

string

Microphone type used (e.g., 'built-in MEMS', 'external electret', 'ultrasonic MEMS', 'Knowles SPH0641LU4H-1').

  • maxGraphemes: 128

mountingHeight

string

Height above ground at which the device was mounted, in meters (e.g., '1.5').

requiredstring

A short human-readable label for this deployment (e.g., 'Site A North — AudioMoth March 2024').

  • maxGraphemes: 256

recordingSchedule

string

Human-readable description of the recording duty cycle and schedule (e.g., '5 min on / 10 min off, 18:00–06:00 UTC+0'). For AudioMoth, this reflects the schedule configured via the AudioMoth app.

  • app.gainforest.ac.audio

    record

    Generic audio resource record aligned with the TDWG Audiovisual Core standard (http://www.tdwg.org/standards/638). Represents a single audio recording (field recording, soundscape, species call) with its technical metadata. Links to a dwc.occurrence as evidence and optionally to an ac.deployment describing the recording device setup. Does not carry location, weather, habitat, or device fields — those belong on dwc.event, dwc.occurrence, or ac.deployment respectively.
