d330 spatial grain #98

Closed ssnell6 closed 8 years ago

ssnell6 commented 8 years ago

For d330, transects measure from ~ 1-7 km. Is this too large of a range? 8/10 of the transects are 5 km or under. I have all transects together for now and will use an average of the transects for a spatial grain unless we need to split them out by length.

Sounds good enough to keep them all together with a single average transect length. Since he was using unlimited sight distance, let's go ahead and multiply the average length (in meters) by 20 to get a rough estimate of spatial grain. In general most butterflies that were identifiable were probably within 10 m.

Be sure to make a comment about these assumptions in the cleaning script.

Sounds good. Included now
