ROCIS Flight Paths for Feb 17, 2024

Here, we show mutual-information (MI) Optimal flight paths for February 17, which maximizes the MI between the surface velocity measured along the candidate flight tracks in the table below on February 17 and Sigma-T at the verification points shown in the figure on the right on February 18 and 20. In addition, we consider flight paths that are 700 nmi and 805 nmi long. In each case, the flight is allowed to travel in any of Nθ=16 different directions (0° [north], 22.5°, 45°, etc.), in Ns=7 segments between takeoff and landing. We also consider a set of candidate flight paths at 700 nmi that are allowed to travel in any of Nθ=10 different directions in Ns=11 segments between takeoff and landing. verif_locs.png

Data is collected all along the flight paths; datafiles with waypoint coordinates are available for download (see links in fifth column)
