STUDY OF SONIC STIMULI ON FLYING ALBATROSSES.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of acoustic stimuli in deterring albatrosses from crossing runways and thus creating collision hazards with arriving or departing aircraft. The acoustic stimuli are recordings of helicopter noises alternating with the distress sound of the Black-footed Albatross. Repeating tape cartridges have been provided consisting of a continuous series of 10 secs. of UH noise, followed by 15-20 secs. of Black-foot DC. (Author)
