Table 2 Summary statistics of 100 simulated tracks originating from five regions of Lake Champlain. Metrics include track duration, range of unique regions visited, percent of simulated transmissions detected, standard deviation of the turn angle, and velocity. All metrics except for the number of unique regions visited are presented as averages with one standard deviation. Note that limited values were possible for standard deviation of the turn angle (5, 15, or 25 degrees) and velocity (0.1, 0.5, and 0.9 m/s)
