Glider Reachability Map Forecast for 29 Feb 0920Z to 04 Mar 0920Z 2024, Issued 01 Mar 2024

The black contours shown are reachability front forecasts, at 24 hour intervals (0hr to 96hr 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.

The assumed glider speeds are 40 cm/s.
