[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 2140485, member: 87887"] Its a relativity thing. Dark surfaces absorb heat more than white/reflective surfaces do. for example, I've looked through scopes in below zero weather over snow covered fields. But a large herd of cattle, a barn or large areas of uncovered gravel or an area covered in manure or uncovered earth will result in significant mirage. When I flew as a pilot, you could tell the difference between flying over a corn field vs a hay field vs a blacktopped city. Wherever you have differences of heat absorption and reflection, mirage is possible. [/QUOTE]
