The vplist object is deprecated. Use a regular list of vp
objects c(vp, vp) and check with sapply(x, is.vp).
mt is deprecated as a separate function. Migration traffic is now
included in the output of integrate_profile as column
mt.
Deprecated description
Total migration traffic, which is calculated by time-integration of migration traffic rates. Migration traffic gives the number of individuals that have passed per km perpendicular to the migratory direction at the position of the radar for the full period of the time series within the specified altitude band.
Deprecated examples
# get example time series of vertical profiles: data(example_vpts) example_vpts # total migration traffic in full altitude band: mt(example_vpts) # total migration traffic in 0-1000 meter band: mt(example_vpts, alt.min = 0, alt.max = 1000)
mtr is deprecated as a separate function. Migration traffic
rate is now included in the output of integrate_profile as
column mtr.
Deprecated description
Migration traffic rate (MTR) for an altitude layer, defined as the number of targets crossing a 1 km line perpendicular to the migratory movement per hour.
Deprecated details
Migration traffic rate (MTR) for an altitude layer is a flux measure, defined as the number of targets crossing a unit of transect per hour.
The transect direction is set by the angle alpha. When
alpha=NA, the transect runs perpendicular to the measured migratory
direction. mtr then equals the number of crossing targets per km
transect per hour, for a transect kept perpendicular to the measured
migratory movement at all times and altitudes. In this case mtr is
always a positive quantity, defined as:
$$mtr = \sum_i dens_i ff_i \Delta h$$
with the sum running over all altitude layers between alt.min and
alt.max, \(dens_i\) the bird density, \(ff_i\) the ground speed at
altitude layer i, and \(\Delta h\) the altitude layer width.
If alpha is given a numeric value, the transect is taken perpendicular
to the direction alpha, and the number of crossing targets per hour
per km transect is calculated as:
$$mtr = \sum_i dens_i ff_i \cos(dd_i-alpha) \Delta h$$ with \(dd_i\) the migratory direction at altitude i.
Note that this equation evaluates to the previous equation when alpha
equals \(dd_i\).
In this definition mtr is a traditional flux into a direction of
interest. Targets moving into the direction alpha contribute
positively to mtr, while targets moving in the opposite direction
contribute negatively to mtr. Therefore mtr can be both
positive or negative, depending on the definition of alpha.
Deprecated examples
# MTR for a single vertical profile: mtr(example_vp) # MTRs for a time series of vertical profiles: data(example_vpts) # print migration traffic rates: mtr(example_vpts) # to plot migration traffic rate data, use integrate_profile: plot(integrate_profile(example_vpts), quantity = "mtr")
cmt is deprecated as a separate function. Cumulative migration
traffic is now included in the output of integrate_profile as
column mt, which gives the cumulative migration
traffic from the start of the vertical profile time series.
Deprecated description
Cumulative migration traffic is calculated as the cumulative sum of the migration traffic within each time step of a time series. Cumulative migration traffic gives the number of individuals that have passed per km perpendicular to the migratory direction at the position of the radar as a function of time from the start of time series within the specified altitude band.
Deprecated examples
# get example time series of vertical profiles: data(example_vpts) # print cumulative migration traffic to console: cmt(example_vpts)
