Abstract
A method is developed to study the synergism that can exist between horizon search radar and IR search and track (IRST) systems onboard ship under various meteorological conditions within the marine surface layer (<50 m). The method shows that four operational regions can be defined through the effect of the air-sea temperature difference and the air-sea water vapor pressure difference to produce sub- or superrefractive IR and rf propagation. It is also shown that no conditions can exist such that both IR and rf have subrefractive propagation. Applying the method to many meteorological observations shows that the method works quite well; however, it also indicates that there is not necessarily a detection range advantage to having both an optical and a radar system. However, the advantages to having an optical system are not solely dependent on its range performance. The precision with which an optical system can provide target track parameters, its ability to maintain track when radar systems cannot, and its ability to identify targets are synergisms that are quite significant.

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
