Next message: Martin I Veiner: "T&T: Re: Stern anchoring"
Regarding:
Both the Nominal and Luminous ranges do not take into account elevation,
observer's height of eye, or the curvature of the earth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems to me that you wouldn't mount a 4M light on a 1ft pole. I don't
have the equation for earth's curvature in front of me, but how far away can
a 16ft light be seen from say a helmperson 12ft above the water?
