A primer for using weather surveillance radar to study bird migration


As a reminder to what the team is working on here at BirdCast, we return to a previous post we wrote. With spring soon arriving and preparations for migration underway, here is a primer on what we do.

Here is a brief overview and a behind-the-scenes look at the ways we apply radar data to study bird migration.
