Vertical profiles time series of bird density and flight speed vector (01.01.2018-01.01.2019).

Description

This dataset contains the vertical profiles and integrated time series of bird density and flight speed (NS and EW) used in [reference]. Data are stored in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file for each radar, with the following structure:

{
   "name"      : "bejab", //code name of the radar (http://eumetnet.eu/wp-content/themes/aeron-child/observations-programme/current-activities/opera/database/OPERA_Database/index.html)
   "lat"      : 51.1917, //Latitude
   "lon"      : 3.0642, //Longitude
   "height"    : 50, //Elevation of the radar antenna [m] a.s.l.
"heightDEM" : 0, //Elevation of the ground [m] a.s.l.
   "dens"      : [[...],...], //Bird density [1/km3]
   "sd_vvp"      : [[...],...], //
   "u"        : [[...],...], //Bird flight speed in East(+)/West(-) [m/s]
   "v"        : [[...],...], //Bird flight speed in North(+)/South(-) [m/s]
"densSIMmean" : [[...],...], //Average bird density over 30 simulation over first elevation bins. (see [reference] for more details). [1/km3]
"volDir" : [[...],...], //Normalised volume of air available for flight [m] (see [reference] for more details)
   "windu"    : [[...],...], //Wind speed in East(+)/West(-) [m/s]
   "windv"    : [[...],...], //Wind speed in North(+)/South(-) [m/s]
"insect"    : [[...],...], //Insect proportion (0-1) [-]
}

Two dimensional dataset (array of arrays) are given as time x elevation where time is provided as another JSON file and elevation bins are centred at [100, 300, 500 , ... , 4900]
