Objective(s): To collect dynamic mirage data (using time lapse and video photography) to compare with theoretical work on atmospheric gravity waves.
Project Description: Mirages occur fairly frequently in the arctic. They distort image and landform shapes as well as our perception of distance. This study will examine the underlying causes of mirages by collecting data using time lapse and video photography. This data will be used to examine a theoretical model which attempts to explain the distortion properties of mirages.
