Pilot Notes
!put u_alt_min_depth to 325 at 16:14 surface I have been running numbers at each surfacing to compare the most recent leg against the rest of the journey. This comparison uses a direct path to the Canaries and also assumes that we can apply the last segment data to the remainder (both poor assumptions). So with that said here are the most recent results: segment speed kh 1.243620607 total hrs remain at segment usage 3140.025165 remaining coulomb amp/hrs 700.0713744 coulomb amphr needed at segment rate -470.1823208 days required at segment speed 130.8343819 days of energy available at present c/d -194.8040185 total reserve energy base on last segment usage% 32.8379451 That said the glider is flying into pretty unfavorable currents at the moment if this were to continue and we use the same calculations and instead of using distance over segment we use distance made good towards Canaries over the same segment the results look much worse (path planning will be come critical this week): segment speed kh 0.487481945 total hrs remain at segment usage 8010.553086 remaining coulomb amp/hrs 700.0713744 coulomb amphr needed at segment rate -1199.487343 days required at segment speed 333.7730453 days of energy available at present c/d -194.8040185 total reserve energy base on last segment usage% -71.3378645
