Using Avian Radar to Examine Relationships Among Avian Activity, Bird Strikes, and Meteorological Factors

Radar systems designed to detect avian activity at airfields are useful in understanding factors that influence the risk of bird and aircraft collisions (bird strikes). We used an avian radar system to measure avian activity at Beale Air Force Base, California, USA, during 2008 and 2009. We conducte...
