Abstract
The performance of Electro-Optical systems operating within the marine boundary layer is severely influenced by atmospheric conditions. Vertical temperature and humidity gradients lead to refraction and turbulence effects. Refraction causes focusing and defocusing of rays, detection range limitations, mirage formation and angular deviation. Associated with the VAMPIRA (Validation Measurement on Propagation in the IR and Radar) experiment, we made investigations on the apparent elevations of point targets. The location of the trial was at the coast line of the Baltic Sea, overlooking a bay. An IR camera system was fixed on a pier at an altitude of 6.5 m. The camera continuously recorded a series of lights 8.2 km away at the other side of the bay. With these recordings we obtained 24-hours-observations of refraction effects due to changing weather conditions. In addition to the VAMPIRA measurements a similar experiment was performed in tropical waters. First results of this trial are given here. Aim of this paper is to discuss and analyse the measured elevations and compare them to the propagation model IRBLEM (IR Boundary Layer Effects Model by DRDC, Canada).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
