TL;DRAbstract
As part of a multiple year Federal Aviation Administration research program in Airport Safety (AAR-411), avian radar units have been deployed at Seattle- Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington (NASWI) by the University of Illinois Center of Excellence in Airport Technology (CEAT). The radars have been operating for a year or more providing performance data and information on bird movement dynamics. The CEAT performance assessment program has been comprehensive considering sensor location, radar calibration, data acquisition and management, and data visualization. Sensor location issues are associated with antenna type, ambient clutter, and the information needs of the study program. CEAT has developed procedures for site selection based on clutter mapping that optimizes sensor location to achieve observational objectives. Radar calibration exercises have been undertaken at SEA using a radio controlled helicopter and balloon t
