Detecting bird movements with L‐band avian radar and S‐band dual‐polarization Doppler weather radar

Abstract Marine surveillance radars with X‐band (3‐cm) and S‐band (10‐cm) wavelengths not only detect birds but also record return from insects, rain, ground objects and rough seas that often make discrimination of echoes from birds difficult. We compare the density of bird tracks recorded by an L‐b...
