Sorum M and Joly K. 2018. Moose Monitoring Protocol for the Arctic Inventory and Monitoring Network Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) # 3 Survey Methods and Flight Patterns. National Park Service
This Standard Operating Procedure explains how to conduct the sampling of the moose survey units. It explains the following: (1) how to divide the survey area into sub areas; (2) various flight patterns used to survey the units; (3) placing observed moose into age categories; and (4) how to manage the data from each day’s flight. Most of these instructions are taken directly from Gasaway et al. (1986), Ver Hoef (2000), and Kellie and Delong (2006).
