They showed that gps-tracked albatrosses headed towards areas that were predicted (by weather + computer model) to have a lot of infrasound related to strong winds. The just-so story is that albatrosses benefit from the winds for more efficient flight. > Infrasound is a form of low-frequency sound that is inaudible to humans but is ubiquitous in the marine environment. Microbaroms are a type of infrasound associated with colliding ocean waves. Such wavy areas are also associated with strong winds, which albatrosses depend on to help them fly efficiently.
