Deriving Effective Sweep Width for Air-scent Dog Teams

Conclusions The ESW methodology is applicable to air-scent dog teams, potentially allowing search managers to make decisions in applying resources operationally, as well as improving accuracy of planning calculations. In addition, the methods described appear to be capable, given more widely representative data, of making valid statistical comparisons between different search modalities and weather and other factors.
