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) …

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 …

Optical turbulence greatly impacts the range and quality of astronomical observations.
Advanced knowledge of the expected atmospheric optical turbulence provides important …

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 …

The staff at the Maunakea Weather Center (MKWC) has provided daily forecasts of optical
turbulence for the summit of Maunakea for more than 20 yr. Observational measures of …

Atmospheric turbulence and wind speed distributions are essential in determining the
quality of astronomical sites and implementing adaptive optics systems. In this study, the …

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 Antarctic plateau contains the best sites on earth for many forms of astronomy, but none
of the existing bases was selected with astronomy as the primary motivation. In this article …

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 …
