  • Abstract
    A radar and IR based avian monitoring system for an offshore wind turbine application has been designed. The avian monitoring system is capable of capturing radar and IR data. The data is synchronized and sent to a remote computer via 3G system. The IR camera needs to be synchronized with the radar view from a remote location. The system was constructed and successfully tested for remote synchronization of radar and IR camera and transfer of data over the internet. The system is designed to monitor avian activity around offshore wind turbines.
