Heath Carmody | Flat Earth: The Strongest Inferior Mirage - part 3 @heathcarmody2867 | Uploaded September 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
The rest of the time lapse footage highly sped up, from 4 different camera heights. The subtitles for the 1 meter elevation segment and 30 cm elevation are switched! The video took over an hour to render so I didn't want to redo it just for that. It goes 2 meters, 1 meter, 30cm (1 foot), 5 meters. All heights are approximate.
The purpose of this video is to show that inferior mirage conditions maintained from all elevations despite the temperature going from significantly colder to much warmer than the water over the course of the 5 hour observation. To me this strongly suggests that upward refraction (sinking, inferior mirage) conditions are the norm except under very specific conditions.
