 Vuk: will try to look into it.
+Riccardo: regarding the batteries: if you put many batteries in parallel, protect them with a diode each, so that if one shorts the system is not affected, shorts are more likely to happen if the battery is discharged to zero. If we will cycle them only very few times only, we may go for not deep discharge batteries and go for maximum amp/hour per dollar.

-    Eric: Looking in more detail at the turning depth: http://www.ligo.caltech.edu/~ethrane/stoch/turning_depth2.pdf
-    Model the rock as 100 thin wafers, with refraction at each boundary. Snell's law applied at each discontinuity, using different wave speeds according to v ~ z^alpha, where alpha=0.27 comes from a different site (expect it to be smaller at Homestake). Find that waves turn around if the incident angle is larger than ~55 degrees (wrt the z-axis). For any alpha, there is a range of input angles that leads to turn over.
-    Vuk: would like to get better intuition about this - naively, expect small features not to affect much the waves with long wavelengths. In other words, would you expect the turning depth to depend on the frequency/wavelength of the wave?

-    Riccardo/Eric: this is similar to waveguides. The "feature" is small in one dimension, but goes across another dimension, so diffraction intuition is not applicable...

-    Vuk/Eric: observationaly, from geophysics is it known whether turning depth depends on frequency?

-    Victor: skin depth (associated with Rayleigh waves) does depend on the frequency (larger for larger wavelength), but not sure how this is related to the refraction argument here. Will try to follow up on it more.

-    Vuk: on the other hand, in the radiometer code, this should boil down to changes in phase, which should be calculable for a given model. So we should be able to correct it?
+Nelson: may have to go back to the Fermat's principle and solve the problem from scratch.
+Vuk/Eric: it would help to learn what is known about this in geophysics, at least to get a sense of what we need to do. Victor will look into it.
-    Eric: yes, we would have to add angle and depth dependent corrections to the phase.
