Quality Assessment of Weather Radar Wind Profiles during Bird Migration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind profiles from an operational C-band Doppler radar have been combined with data from a bird tracking radar to assess the wind profile quality during bird migration. The weather radar wind profiles (WRWPs) are retrieved ...
Using High-Resolution GPS Tracking Data of Bird Flight for Meteorological Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ird flight is strongly influenced by local meteorological conditions. With increasing amounts of high-frequency GPS data of bird movement becoming available, as tags become cheaper and lighter, opportunities are created ...
A Comparative Analysis of the Influence of Weather on the Flight Altitudes of Birds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Birds pose a serious risk to flight safety worldwide. A Bird Avoidance Model (BAM) is being developed in the Netherlands to reduce the risk of bird?aircraft collisions. In order to develop a temporally and spatially dynamic ...
Real-Time Data Assimilation for Operational Ensemble Streamflow Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Operational flood forecasting requires that accurate estimates of the uncertainty associated with model-generated streamflow forecasts be provided along with the probable flow levels. This paper demonstrates a stochastic ...
