This paper presents the Meso-NH model version 5.4. Meso-NH is an atmospheric non
hydrostatic research model that is applied to a broad range of resolutions, from synoptic to …

In this study we demonstrate that we can provide forecasts of all the main astroclimatic
parameters (seeing, wavefront coherence time, isoplanatic angle, and ground-layer fraction) …

The performance of ground-based astronomical observations and free-space optical
communication (FSOC) systems suffers from atmospheric turbulence and meteorological …

We present an overview of the MOSE (MOdelling ESO Sites) project that aims to prove the
feasibility of the forecast of the classical atmospheric parameters (wind-speed intensity and …

One of the main goals of the feasibility study MOSE (MOdelling ESO Sites) is to evaluate the
performances of a method conceived to forecast the optical turbulence (OT) above the …

The vertical distributions of optical turbulence (C n2 profiles) are a major factor in defining
the capabilities of ground-based telescopes and interferometers. As site-testing campaigns …

We present a comparison between in situ measurements and forecasted data at the
Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos. Forecasting is obtained with the Weather …

The efficiency of the management of top-class ground-based astronomical facilities
supported by adaptive optics (AO) relies on our ability to forecast the optical turbulence (OT) …

The methods to obtain atmospheric refractive index structure constant (Cn2) by instrument
measurement are limited spatially and temporally and they are more difficult and expensive …

In this study, we make use of a meso-scale numerical model to obtain the parameters of
atmospheric optical turbulence at the Ali observatory above the Tibetan Plateau. These …
