  1. Iwan Holleman (KNMI) Hans van Gasteren (RNLAF,UvA) Willem Bouten (UvA) Validation of Bird Movement Signatures in Weather Radar Wind Profiles using a Dedicated Bird Radar Migrating Lapwings

  2. VAD/VVP Wind Vector Retrieval

  3. Std.Dev. > 2 m/s Std.Dev. < 2 m/s Bird Migration in De Bilt Height 0-6 km 12 UTC 16-03-2004 – 12 UTC 18-03-2004

  4. WRWP WRWP High quality wind profiles • Std.Dev. < 2 m/s • Hirlam NWP • WRWP and radiosonde RDS RDS

  5. 2.4 deg X-band 160 kW 0.2 s Flycatcher Bird Radar

  6. RHI from Flycatcher Bird Radar Weather 80 km Small bird Height  Big bird March – May 2003 Range from radar

  7. Threshold

  8. Bird Detection Criteria • Standard Deviation > 2.0 m/s • Radar Reflectivity < –5 dBZ • “Wind” Speed > 6 m/s • FC=86.8, POD=85.2, FAR=38.1, Bias=1.38 • Threshold 1 bird/km3, per hour per 200 meter

  9. Speed and Direction • Direction bins of 15 deg • Speed bias of –3.5 m/s • Bias corrected • Speed bins of 3 m/s

  10. Bird radar WRWP Assessment of Bird Density TBD = 0.29 + 0.09 VIR Bird Density

  11. Conclusion and Outlook • Bird movement can be extracted from WRWP • Collocated, dedicated comparison needed • Application on European network? OPERA: 150 radars 100 Doppler 3 Dual-pol
