Influence of Local Wind Conditions on the Flight Speed of the Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo
Figure 4
(a) Measured ground speeds and calculated air speeds for great cormorants and (b) the relationship between ground speed and wind speed in the direction of flight (tailwind component along the track direction). The solid line is the best fit that was estimated by a linear mixed model: the dashed lines indicate the 95% confidence intervals.
