Comparison of the best pigeon turbulence proxy (the interquartile range of pressure fluctuations per flight) with (a) thermal uplift (w*) and (b) shear velocity (u*) as estimated using the ERA5 global reanalysis. Each point represents the interquartile range of each flight with colour indicating the mean wind speed during each flight (n = 66 flights).
