AbstractAn airborne radar system able to measure insect density profiles and the orientation of individual insect targets was developed using standard components. Using the system, typical moth targets, with a radar cross-section of 1 cm2, can be detected to a range of about 1 km. Signals from 48 separate height bands, each 15 m deep, are recorded on three analogue data channels. Analogue outputs related to aerial population per hectare can be viewed in real-time. Signals recorded during recent field work show an inclined layer over a track length of 30 km, with target orientation profiles at two positions along the layer. The strongest orientation occurred in regions of wind shear. Airborne entomological radar powerfully complements existing techniques by virtue of its mobility, providing unique opportunities to study the spatial organization of migration, to track features as they develop and to survey large areas.

This paper reports on a theoretical analysis of the rich variety of spatio-temporal patterns observed recently in inclined layer convection at medium Prandtl number when varying the inclination angle ${\it\gamma}$ and the Rayleigh number $R$. The present numerical investigation of the inclined layer convection system is based on the standard Oberbeck–Boussinesq equations. The patterns are shown to originate from a complicated competition of buoyancy driven and shear-flow driven pattern forming mechanisms. The former are expressed as longitudinal convection rolls with their axes oriented parallel to the incline, the latter as perpendicular transverse rolls. Along with conventional methods to study roll patterns and their stability, we employ direct numerical simulations in large spatial domains, comparable with the experimental ones. As a result, we determine the phase diagram of the characteristic complex 3-D convection patterns above onset of convection in the ${\it\gamma}{-}R$ plane, and find that it compares very well with the experiments. In particular we demonstrate that interactions of specific Fourier modes, characterized by a resonant interaction of their wavevectors in the layer plane, are key to understanding the pattern morphologies.

For the case of a large Prandtl number, buoyancy driven flow in an inclined fluid layer, it is shown that all longitudinal-coordinate-independent solutions of the governing equations are obtainable from a knowledge of the existing results for two-dimensional convection in a horizontal layer, heated from below. The rescaling here yields results which compare favorably with those of existing experimental heat transport values.
