Proportion of area searched example data set

Description

An example data set of the proportion of area searched within 1 m annuli around turbines at a wind farm.

Usage

data(proportionAreaSearched)

Format

A data frame with 400 rows and 3 variables:

plotType

Either FULL or RP, the type of plot searched at the turbine

distanceFromTurbine

The outer radius distance from the turbine, for the one unit annulus.

proportionAreaSearched

The proportion of area searched within the annulus at the turbine.

Details

Plots around turbines are searched for bird and bat carcasses. The area searched is summarized into the proportion of area searched with one unit annuli (or rings). The distance here corresponds to the outer radius of the annuli.

For example: plotType distanceFromTurbine portionAreaSearched RP 11 0.12441226

This row is corresponds to the annulus with outer radius of 11 and inner radius of 10. The proportion of area search on RP (road and pad) plot types is 0.12441226, or approximately 12 percent.
