Aircraft noise modeling of dispersed flight tracks and metrics for assessing impacts
… track as a noise issue because of the frequent overflights above specific areas. In order to assess the impact of frequent overflights, metrics for understanding the annoyance mechanism were necessary. The metric Nx, which is a count of the number of overflights above the A-weighted maximum …

Demography, Nest Site Selection, and Physiological and Behavioral Responses to Overflights and other Human Activities, of Wilson's Plover (Charadrius wilsonia) at Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina
… and physiological and behavioral responses to overflights at Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina, where the National Park Service and U.S. Marine Corps recently lowered the altitude for overflights at tactical speeds. I monitored the responses of incubating Wilson's Plovers to …

Evaluating the Responses of Least Terns, Common Terns, Black Skimmers, and Gull-billed Terns to Military and Civilian Aircraft and to Human Recreation at Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina
… there is a lack of consensus on the effects of overflights on wildlife populations. My objectives were to 1) evaluate the potential impacts that reduced-altitude tactical speed military aircraft might generate on nesting colonial waterbirds, and to place any impacts in the context of other human …

Evaluation of effective MDTD/MRTD for FLIR from PREOS92 measurement data
… were selected as close to the aircraft overflights as possible using PREOS 92 data as inputs of the SEARAD code. Ship target (R/V POINT SUR) modeling was established for MDTD/MRTD evaluation using a rectangular parallelepiped model of the ship's physical length, width and height. The …

Comparison of methods for evaluating impacts of aviation noise on communities
… International Airport using DNL and number of overflights above a noise threshold (Nabove) metrics. The three scenarios examined include the standard noise analysis methodology scenario (annual average day) as well as a day of heavy usage of a noise-sensitive runway (33L for departures), and a …

Exploring Detracting Elements and Coping Mechanisms Reported in Four Trails along the Going-To-The-Sun Road Corridor in Glacier National Park
… (48%), followed by non-natural sounds (42%) and overflights (32%). For hikers experiencing detracting elements, 80% would usually use a coping mechanism to reduce the negative effect of that kind of detractor. Hikers sampled employed different cognitive coping mechanisms. Rationalization and …
