\end{enumerate}  With these assumptions, we can relate the geometry of an encounter directly to the observed profile parameters, and Figure \ref{fig:encounter_geometry} illustrates a typical encounter. As a devil passes the barometer, it will have a closest approach distance $b$, where the deepest point in the pressure profile will be observed $P_{\rm obs}$, which is given by   \begin{equation}  P_{\rm  obs} = \dfrac{P_{\rm act}}{1 - \dfrac{2 b}{\Gamma_{\rm act}}}$. act}}}.  \end{equation}
