Once the network has worked out where on the map the birds are, the rest of the system applies some rules of thumb, such as the favourite migration weather of, say, geese and the soaring habits of, say, vultures, to transform those data into a three-dimensional picture of where birds should be expected.
"Migrations, weather, tectonic plates, ice floes, all of it," she says breathily.
In the longer run (after 2040), climate change may lead to rising water levels and significant "migration of weather" (e.g. the weather in San Francisco in the future may be similar to the current weather of Los Angeles).
Surely, many things affect migration, like weather, commutes, job opportunities, and families.
On a socially human account, it adversely affects food security, migration, habitat, weather, sea levels, life expectancy, education and health.
The migrations, the weather -- when we look closely, all bear our thumbprint.
Birds need steady sources of food throughout the year to survive cold nights, migration, and harsh weather.
While weather migration and rising water levels may be outcomes in the distant future, designing investments to protect against rising water levels and the development of institutions and arrangements that will foster migration requires significant lead time.
Usually, such studies examine a five-mile radius around the facility over a full year to assess all factors relating to weather, migration, available food and bird species diversity.
He also unveiled the declassification of scads of Cold War military sound recordings, which could be used for everything from tracking whale migration to improving weather forecasting.
Species that winter in the warm temperate zone can judge the warming first-hand, and begin their northward migration when the weather seems right.
