A recent study shows that migratory birds across all of North America are on the move sooner than ever before as the result of climate change
Together, Professor Horton and his collaborators examined 24 years of radar data collected by the. Although bird migratory flights have been recorded for decades by NOAA, only limited studies have been possible so far because of the enormous amount of data recorded by NOAA’s network of constantly scanning weather radars.
MistNet also automates processing of the massive migratory bird data set that was accumulated over the continental U.S. for more than two decades. “To process all of these data, without cloud computing, it would have taken over a year of continuous computing”, Professor Horton pointed out. But incredibly, the team crunched the numbers in just 48 hours.
“Bird migration evolved largely as a response to changing climate”, agreed Dr. Farnsworth in a press release.
