$10.19.2024 Name That Refraction Pan$ $From UCSB 45 ASL Platform Hillhouse to C 1-17-21 4th day of warm January weather.... Lots of wavy heat refraction and undulating horizon at times... Is the boat to the left of C further than the platform? The reflections on the background ridge...at the vids end...should only be a few hundred feet above the horizon.....which should be at around 8.5 miles or in front of Platform C which is at 13.1 miles from the observer....$

$October 15 2021 from UCSB 45 ft elevation Hazy and a bit of optical refraction down Channel 4 pm-ish ~80F + Not Hillhouse at end...is A. If you can see the foreground to the base of the rigs....$

$06.07.2023 Excursion Boats Pan 46 ft elevation ~64F Air ~63F Water ~50% RH + UCSB Mid Parking Lot #6 Low apparent horizon @ Mesa Lower apparent horizon and background boats / landscape due to their light avoiding cooler air between actual and camera? First part of so called upward refraction.....light goes toward the surface and enters the eye at a lower angle....effectively lowering the whole scene in general. Not all of the light is reflected back upward. Simple. Pesky Ridge still Pesky Strong Inferior Mirage.... Maybe influenced by the warmer water and lighter breeze? Boats are the Double Dolphin catamaran sailboat (buddy helped build it for a summer job in the 1980s) and the Azure Seas...a 60 ft tourist booze cruise special yacht, both out of Santa Barbara Harbor. ...$
