Just to be on the same page

2020-03-08 00:49:55 UTC  

or land

2020-03-08 00:50:06 UTC  

the bulge of a curve blocks your view yes?

2020-03-08 00:50:14 UTC  

Ok

2020-03-08 00:50:31 UTC  

so we can now calculate at which point this accurs yes?

2020-03-08 00:51:03 UTC  

It's somewhere between you and the boat on the water

2020-03-08 00:52:34 UTC  

so given the height of the observer and the distance to the physical bulge curve what is this distance, search for a horizon calculator an tell me the results, or screenshot an post, thanks

2020-03-08 00:53:10 UTC  

I think it has to do more with perspective

2020-03-08 00:53:21 UTC  

You still there typing@Pit Droid

2020-03-08 00:53:21 UTC  

you are not doing as I asked you

2020-03-08 00:53:23 UTC  

why?

2020-03-08 00:53:33 UTC  

I'm on .y phone

2020-03-08 00:53:44 UTC  

well you can search the website

2020-03-08 00:53:46 UTC  

theres many

2020-03-08 00:53:51 UTC  

then add the calculations

2020-03-08 00:54:56 UTC  

Right ugh that was painful on a phone

2020-03-08 00:54:59 UTC  

Using this

2020-03-08 00:55:21 UTC  

We have context for the measurements

2020-03-08 00:55:23 UTC  

Cata, an yet we observe the horizon at 10 miles

2020-03-08 00:55:26 UTC  

RIP Glob

2020-03-08 00:55:40 UTC  

@Logrian where did you get that fact

2020-03-08 00:55:44 UTC  

Input of 0.5 ft height

2020-03-08 00:56:03 UTC  

Target distance is irrelevant for this demonstration

Do you know the 5 types of refraction @Pit Droid

2020-03-08 00:57:03 UTC  

I input T, P and dT/dh only goes up to that value on the simulation, where it is following the earth curve

2020-03-08 00:57:12 UTC  

Which gives us this result

2020-03-08 00:57:17 UTC  

@Logrian doesn't it have to do with the height of the object too

2020-03-08 00:57:26 UTC  

Which should be sufficient

2020-03-08 00:57:40 UTC  

an even if we go to 56 ft observer height we dont get ten miles Cata.

2020-03-08 00:57:52 UTC  

@Logrian not observer height

2020-03-08 00:58:07 UTC  

horizon doesnt have a height

2020-03-08 00:58:25 UTC  

How did you measure the distance to the horizon?

2020-03-08 00:59:06 UTC  

by knowing the distance beyond the towers an the observer hight, according to the glob model the MAX horizon is 1.22miles
