“…This may occur because these species did not embark on long-distance departure from here, performed inconspicuous departure behaviors, or started migration at dusk. In fact, night departures in small birds have been recorded by radar and radio tracking extensively (Myres and Apps 1973;Åkes-son et al 2002). Higher predation pressure in the daytime could contribute to night departure of small birds (Alerstam 2009).…”

“…Although radar ornithological studies in Asia and Oceania have a long history (e.g., Myres & Apps, 1973; Tulp et al., 1994; Williams, 1990), coordinated and continuous ornithological applications over wide geographical areas are still largely confined to Europe and North America, while the current extent and capacity of weather radars in EAAF countries are yet to be examined from an ecological point of view. Recently, Australian weather radar data have been made openly accessible online and studies have demonstrated great potential for ecological applications (Meade et al., 2019; Rogers et al., 2020).…”

“…Cui et al (2020) also showed that Chinese weather radars are able to detect large-scale aerial animal movements. Nonetheless, weather radar ornithological studies in the EAAF have been mainly experimental or opportunistic, with single radars and relatively limited spatial and temporal spans (e.g., Lane & Jessop, 1985;Minda et al, 2008;Myres & Apps, 1973;Sun et al, 2010;Ueta et al, 2009;Williams, 1990). The potential coverage of the migration routes of birds provided by weather radar networks have yet to be evaluated along the EAAF.…”

“…With the introduction of radar by the military during the Second World War it soon became obvious that radar could help fill gaps in our understanding of how flying animals use the airspace (Brooks 1945, Lack and Varley 1945, Buss 1946, Sutter 1957, Eastwood 1967. Since that time, many different types of radar (Table 1) have been broadly applied to study the 'invisible parts' of the movements of both birds and insects on a broader scale, primarily in Europe, North America, east Asia and Australia (Lack 1959, Drury and Keith 1962, Alerstam 1972, Myres and Apps 1973, Williams and Ying 1990, Bruderer 1997a, b, 2003, Drake and Reynolds 2012, Beason et al 2013, Drake and Bruderer 2017.…”
