Optical turbulence: site selection above the internal Antarctic plateau with a mesoscale model
E. Masciadri, F. Lascaux, S. Hagelin +2
Atmospherical mesoscale models can offer unique potentialities to characterize and discriminate potential astronomical sites. Our team has recently completely validated the Meso-Nh…
Mt. Graham: Optical turbulence vertical distribution at standard and high vertical resolution
E. Masciadri, J. Stoesz, S. Hagelin +3
A characterization of the optical turbulence vertical distribution and all the main integrated astroclimatic parameters derived from the CN2 and the wind speed profiles above Mt. G…
A dedicated tool for a full 3D Cn2 investigation
Franck Lascaux, Elena Masciadri, Susanna Hagelin
We present in this study a mapping of the optical turbulence (OT) above different astronomical sites. The mesoscale model Meso-NH was used together with the Astro-Meso-Nh package a…
Mesoscale optical turbulence simulations above Dome C, Dome A and South Pole
Franck Lascaux, Elena Masciadri, Susanna Hagelin
In two recent papers the mesoscale model Meso-NH, joint with the Astro-Meso-NH package, has been validated at Dome C, Antarctica, for the characterization of the optical turbulence…
Wind speed vertical distribution at Mt. Graham
S. Hagelin, E. Masciadri, F. Lascaux
The characterization of the wind speed vertical distribution V(h) is fundamental for an astronomical site for many different reasons: (1) the wind speed shear contributes to trigge…
Comparison of the atmosphere above the South Pole, Dome C and Dome A: first attempt
S. Hagelin, E. Masciadri, F. Lascaux +1
The atmospheric properties above three sites (Dome A, Dome C and the South Pole) are investigated for astronomical applications using the monthly median of the analyses from the EC…
