get_mig_flux_factor: Migration Flux factor

In HiDef-Aerial-Surveying/stochLAB: Stochastic Collision Risk Model

Migration Flux factor

Description

Returns the migratory flux factor, expressing the total number of bird flights through the rotors of the wind farm per month, if all flights occur within the rotor's circle area of all turbines, and assuming birds take no avoiding action.

Usage

get_mig_flux_factor(n_turbines, rotor_radius, wf_width, popn_est)

Arguments

n_turbines	An integer. The number of turbines on the wind farm (T).
rotor_radius	An integer. The radius of the rotor (R), in metres
wf_width	An integer. The width (in km) of the
popn_est	An integer. The population estimate from the spatial line sampling technique

Details

The flux factor is used for other model calculations. Methodology and assumptions underpinning get_mig_flux_factor are described in "Stage B" of Band (2012)

Value

The number of bird flights potentially transiting through rotors at each time period (assuming no avoidance), if all flights occur within the rotor's circular area

Examples

get_mig_flux_factor(
     n_turbines = 100,
     rotor_radius = 120,
     wf_width = 51,
     popn_est = 10000
)
