int_lap_air_state

Air state classification and thermal load from dirty air.

Part of the Physics family.

Air state classification and thermal load from dirty air. One row per stint-lap. Classifies air state per sector (free_air, tow_zone, drs_train, dirty_air) and accumulates cumulative thermal load on tyre surface and bulk using exponential moving average.

Columns

Column	Type	Nullable	Tests	Description
lap_id		Yes	not_null, unique	Foreign key to stg_laps
time_in_dirty_air_s		Yes	not_null, expect_column_values_to_be_between	Real per-lap dirty-air exposure time (seconds), summed from actual ~10Hz telemetry sample durations where gap-to-car-ahead < 1.5s. Zeroed on SC/VSC laps (no real aero load at safety-car speeds). Null-gap samples (~5%, car ahead unavailable) are treated as free air, matching dirty_air_share_lap’s existing convention.
