Figure caption: Isotropy metric scores for a hypothetical ngEHT array with different dropout scenarios. The full array has all of the sites in the 2017 EHT array (see Section 2), with the addition of the Northern Extended Millimeter Array (PDB), the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA), and the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KP). A universal value of ﹩{{ \mathcal K }}_{{\rm{\max }}}\approx 0.513﹩ was used to perform the computation (see Appendix B). Generally, dropouts will impact the maximum coverage score achieved throughout the observation and the duration (shown as Δτ) of the most optimal time region. Characterizing a site’s importance to the observation is a useful way of informing a go/no-go decision, which takes into account station readiness and probability of dropout. For the above observational scenario, the loss of, e.g., ALMA, JCMT, and SMA would likely motivate a “no-go” decision, whereas the loss of, e.g., CARMA and PV would not motivate canceling the night of observation.
