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.
