The grand kids would like to track Santa Christmas eve, just to make sure he is on his way. Anyone got any Keps for him and his team of reindeer?
Sorry, Keith, Santa's trajectory is far to complex to be described by Keps. The stochastic nature of disturbances and external forces (e.g. Cindy Lou Who) are not well modeled by our tracking programs. NORAD has, however, developed special techniques to track him. Please see http://www.noradsanta.org/ for details.
