# Bird migration case study from the Netherlands and Belgium
[](http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.592789)
## Introduction
This repository contains data and documentation for a bird migration case study, which focuses on **one week of intense bird migration across the Netherlands and Belgium, from April 5 to April 11 2013**.
The data for this study are retrieved by five weather radars and are very similar to the kind of data that the [European Network for the Radar Surveillance of Animal Movement (ENRAM)](http://enram.eu/) wants to retrieve at a European scale. Being able to process and visualize this type of data would allow researchers to study and understand animal migration at a continental scale.
[Read more about the case study](story.md).
