Files

========================================================

BTR_ATMO.csv: table containing daily / nightly aggregated ornithological radar and weather data.

Headers are (see publication and supplementary information for more details on these variables:

  • site: location of the radar or weather data respectively (GEN = Geneva, SEM = Sempach, WNT = Winterthur)
  • season: spring or autumn migration period
  • date: date (yyyy-mm-dd)
  • dayOrNight: day or night according to civil twilight
  • BTR: Bird Traffic Rate per day / night (birds km-1 h-1)
  • rho: directional concentration per day / night
  • rho.N: number of echoes with information on bird flight direction per day / night
  • windprofit: average wind profits per day / night (m s-1)
  • temp: average temperature per day / night (°C)
  • dTemp: 24-h change in average temperature per day / night (°C day-1)
  • pres: average barometric pressure per day / night (hPa)
  • dPres: 24-h change in average barometric pressure per day / night (hPa day-1)
  • precDurProp: proportion of the day / night with precipitation

========================================================

ECHO.csv: table containing bird echoes with information on the flight direction that were registered during short pulse mode and within 50 to 1500 meters above ground level.

Headers are:

  • site: location of the radar or weather data respectively (GEN = Geneva, SEM = Sempach, WNT = Winterthur)
  • season: spring or autumn migration period
  • datetime: timestamp of echo
  • dateSunset: date and time of civil dawn
  • dayOrNight: whether timestamp occurs during day or night based on civil twilight
  • altitude: bird flight altitude (meters above ground level)
  • direction: bird flight direction (degrees from north clockwise)
  • speed: bird ground speed (m s-1)
