Optical Turbulence: Astronomy Meets Meteorology – Proceedings Of The Optical Turbulence Characterization For Astronomical Applications

This book collects most of the talks and poster presentations presented at the ‘Optical Turbulence � Astronomy meets Meteorology’ international conference held on 15-18 September, 2008 at Nymphes Bay, Alghero, Sardinia, Italy.The meeting aimed to deal with one of the major causes of wavefront perturbations limiting the astronomical high-angular-resolution observations from the ground. The uniqueness of this meeting has been the effort to attack this topic in a synergic and multidisciplinary approach promoting constructive discussions between the actors of this science � the astronomers, meteorologists, physicists of the atmosphere and the experts in adaptive optics and interferometry techniques whose main goal is to correct, in real-time, the wavefront perturbations induced by atmospheric turbulence to restore at the telescope foci the best available image quality.Optical Turbulence: Astronomy Meets Meteorology – Proceedings Of The Optical Turbulence Characterization For Astronomical Applications is written by Masciadri Elena and published by ICP. ISBNs for Optical Turbulence: Astronomy Meets Meteorology – Proceedings Of The Optical Turbulence Characterization For Astronomical Applications are 9781848164864, 1848164866 and the print ISBNs are 9781848164857, 1848164858.
