CNN-Based Reanalysis of Optical Turbulence at the Canary Islands Observatories (OCAN)

Airam Salas, Begoña García-Lorenzo, Julio A. Castro-Almazán +1

Atmospheric optical turbulence, caused by refractive-index fluctuations driven by wind and temperature inhomogeneities, is the primary source of image degradation in ground-based t…
