over distances longer than 360 m, if the target is in proximity to the earth, it may simply vanish into a mirage, caused by temperature gradients in the air in proximity to the heated surface bending the laser light. All these effects must be considered.

Calculation

The distance between point A and B is given by
:where c is the speed of light and t is the amount of time for the round-trip between A and B.
