SEMAFOR

Observation and prediction of bird migration from weather radars

Context

Every year, considerable flows of birds migrate and cross the national territory, flying over sea and land. However, knowledge on the migratory routes of birds is still incomplete. In parallel, the airspace is increasingly used through the development of wind power on land and now at sea.

Objective

To develop a real-time monitoring tool for bird flights and migration via the Météo-France weather radar network

Scientific content

Analysis of the state of the art, feedback and framing of the study

Development and validation of an algorithm for the detection of bird echoes on radar echoes

Field calibration/validation protocol

Construction of a predictive model of bird flows on the maritime facades
