Flying with the wind: scale dependency of speed and direction measurements in modelling wind support in avian flight

BACKGROUND: Understanding how environmental conditions, especially wind, influence birds' flight speeds is a prerequisite for understanding many important aspects of bird flight, including optimal migration strategies, navigation, and compensation for wind drift. Recent developments in tracking...
