Note that the model assumed a homogeneous atmosphere in this calculation while the ship-based measurements suggested EDH increased from ~13 m near shore to ~19 m at the end of the sampling module.
Figure 11a shows L as a function of height and range using the AE24 sounding and assuming a homogeneous atmosphere. Figure lib is similar to Fig.
Simulated propagation loss as afunction of height and distance from the pier on 16 Oct 2015 assuming (a) a horizontally homogeneous atmosphere using sounding AE24 and (b) a heterogeneous atmosphere using all three soundings along the CASPER track, (c) A comparison of the /VI profiles used in the APM simulations, (d) A comparison of the propagation loss between homogeneous and heterogeneous atmospheres and the measured propagation loss.
The reason for the faster growth is that each culture plate is placed on its own shelf inside the incubator, which provides for a
homogeneous atmosphere and efficient thermal conductivity in the incubator to bring the culture plate up to optimal conditions faster.
"They also have to fit a certain profile that we require to maintain a
homogeneous atmosphere regardless of whether [potential entrants] are Lebanese, workers or foreigners -- it doesn't matter."
"That is one of the real puzzles, as to why there was not good mixing or there was not a more
homogeneous atmosphere within the meteorologic vortex,' he says.
