Virtual Glider Reachability Map Forecast for 09 Apr 0000Z to 16 Apr 0000Z 2024, Issued 09 Apr 2024

The black contours shown are reachability front forecasts, at 12 hour intervals (0 hr to 168 hr 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.
