Orca Corridor Hydrodynamics & Sighting Probability

Read the explanation

Inside Alaska's fjord corridors, sighting probability combines pod size, cruising speed, and tidal drift relative to the altar coordinate. Adjusting the pod slider increases whale count, expanding the simulated acoustic footprint and elevating base detection probability. Incoming flood tides boost surface current drift, shifting modeled pod transit toward ceremony vows where sighting probability peaks above ninety percent.
