10.19.2024 Name That Refraction Pan Pablosdog 2024-10-20 | Beautiful day.~ 75+ F Air~ 64F Water~ 30-40% RHApparent horizon higher than the 18th.Still hazy making it hard to see the further bits clearly.Lots of heat haze too.What are we looking at refraction wise in this one?Interesting that the top of the "refration zone" is right around my elevation at Mesa....and the background above that elevation appears ~ where it should be for a 3 point equal elevation line up.Would be nice to compare to the Skew-T Temp/P vs altitude model data.....but it's no longer available....
