In addition to the explanation of the climate inputs, the limiting
climate aspects for each transportation system are provided
in Table 2. It is assumed that the CTVs and helicopter can perform
technician transfer after the sun rises; in the same manner the
CTVs and helicopter have to sail/fly back to the maintenance port
before the sun sets. In the context of visibility, a random number
between 0 and 100 is generated (in order to be consistent with the
probability of good visibility values) for each day of the simulations.
If the randomly generated number in a particular repair day
is higher than the probability of good visibility value associated
with that particular month, the helicopter operations are ceased
for that repair day. On the contrary, if the randomly generated
number is lower than the probability of good visibility value of
that month, the helicopter can be utilised.
