Aeroecology of audience with split systems

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract The purpose of the study is to assess the level of bacterial and fungal contamination of the split system elements and air in air-conditioned rooms. The research method included the quantitative accounting of microorganisms on the surfaces of split-system filters and in the air of university classrooms.

Broad-Scale Weather Patterns Encountered during Flight Influence Landbird Stopover Distributions

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
The dynamic weather conditions that migrating birds experience during flight likely influence where they stop to rest and refuel, particularly after navigating inhospitable terrain or large water bodies, but effects of weather on stopover patterns remain

Extending bioacoustic monitoring of birds aloft through flight call localization with a three‐dimensional microphone array

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2016
Bioacoustic localization of bird vocalizations provides unattended observations of the location of calling individuals in many field applications. While this technique has been successful in monitoring terrestrial distributions of calling birds, no ...

Animal Migration Patterns Extraction Based on Atrous-Gated CNN Deep Learning Model

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Weather radar data can capture large-scale bird migration information, helping solve a series of migratory ecological problems. However, extracting and identifying bird information from weather radar data remains one of the challenges of radar ...

Coupling Atmospheric and Biological Remote Sensing to Investigate Boundary-Layer Evolution and Animal Flight Behavior as Affected by the 2017 North American Solar Eclipse

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
The daytime atmospheric boundary layer is characterized by vertical convective motions that are driven by solar radiation. Lift provided by thermal updrafts is sufficiently ubiquitous that some diurnal birds and arthropods have evolved specialized flight

Using cloud radar to investigate the effect of rainfall on migratory insect flight

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The fate of migrating insects that encounter rainfall in flight is a critical consideration when modelling insect movement, but few field observations of this common phenomenon have ever been collected due to the logistical challenges of witnessing these

A Geostatistical Approach to Estimate High Resolution Nocturnal Bird Migration Densities from a Weather Radar Network

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Quantifying nocturnal bird migration at high resolution is essential for (1) understanding the phenology of migration and its drivers, (2) identifying critical spatio-temporal protection zones for migratory birds, and (3) assessing the risk of collision ...

Associations of Synoptic Weather Conditions With Nocturnal Bird Migration Over the North Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The southern North Sea is part of an important flyway for nocturnal bird migration, but is also risky as it stretches over a large surface of water. Selecting nights with suitable weather conditions for migration can be critical for a bird’s survival ...

Dual‐polarization radar products for biological applications

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
The upgrade of the national network of next‐generation weather surveillance radars (NEXRAD) in the United States to dual polarizations has been completed, providing three additional routine data products: total differential phase (ψDP), differential ...
