[aloftdata] getRad 0.3.0.9000

b.kranstauber@uva.nl (Bart Kranstauber) — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:43:11 GMT

Load polar volume and vertical profile data for aeroecological research directly into R. With 'getRad' you can access data from several sources in Europe and the US and standardize it to facilitate further exploration in tools such as 'bioRad'.

[aloftdata] birdscanR 0.3.0.9029

birgen.haest@vogelwarte.ch (Birgen Haest) — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 15:49:06 GMT

Extract data from 'Birdscan MR1' 'SQL' vertical-looking radar databases, filter, and process them to Migration Traffic Rates (# objects per hour and km) or density (# objects per km3) of, for example birds, and insects. Object classifications in the 'Birdscan MR1' databases are based on the dataset of Haest et al. (2021) ). Migration Traffic Rates and densities can be calculated separately for different height bins (with a height resolution of choice) as well as over time periods of choice (e.g., 1/2 hour, 1 hour, 1 day, day/night, the full time period of observation, and anything in between). Two plotting functions are also included to explore the data in the 'SQL' databases and the resulting Migration Traffic Rate results. For details on the Migration Traffic Rate calculation procedures, see Schmid et al. (2019) .

[aloftdata] bioRad 0.12.0.9000

biorad@cornell.edu (Adriaan M. Dokter) — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 15:01:12 GMT

Extract, visualize and summarize aerial movements of birds and insects from weather radar data. See Dokter, A. M. et al. (2018) "bioRad: biological analysis and visualization of weather radar data" for a software paper describing package and methodologies.

[aloftdata] vol2birdR 1.3.0.9000

vol2birdr@cornell.edu (Adriaan M. Dokter) — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 20:04:11 GMT

'R' implementation of the 'vol2bird' software for generating vertical profiles of birds and other biological signals in weather radar data. See Dokter et al. (2011) for a paper describing the methodology.
