## Vertical profiling of biological scatterers
**vol2bird** is an algorithm that calculates vertical profiles of birds and other biological scatterers from weather radar data. **vol2bird** is written in C.

See these publications for a description of the methodology:

[**Bird migration flight altitudes studied by a network of operational weather radars**](https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2010.0116)

Recent algorithm extensions and integration with the [bioRad R package](http://adokter.github.io/bioRad) are described here:
