This is a nice complement to the original paper on this research, and I commend you for undertaking the additional analyses. The introduction notes the financial costs associated with automated curtailment in terms of reduced energy production, and I think it would be helpful to management agencies and wind developers to circle back to this in the discussion and help them understand the financial context of these reductions. In particular, the degree to which the system curtailed for false positives (i.e. non-eagles) would shed light on the costs that my counter balance the benefits in some instances.
