Glider Reachability Map Forecast for 07 May 0630Z to 17 May 0630Z 2025, Issued 07 May 2025

The black contours shown are reachability front forecasts, at 12 hour intervals (0hr to 240hr forecasts, with increasing line thickness for later times). The reachability front is the boundary of the largest set (the reachable set) that the glider can reach within that duration. It is computed by numerically solving our exact governing PDE for this time-optimal reachability front.

In this forecast, we consider RU38's actual starting location of 25.1109°N, 84.9182°W at 07 May 0630Z.

Each row in the table corresponds to an MSEAS reachability forecast for different assumed glider speeds: 20, 30, 40, and 50 cm/s.
