R&D activity in INAF on light instrumentation for continuous optical turbulence monitoring
Camilo Weinberger, Elena Masciadri, Luca Carbonaro +5
Measurements of optical turbulence are essential in both ground-based astronomy and free-space optical communication systems contexts for multiple reasons including supporting and…
Neural networks applied to forecasting the astroclimatic and meteorological parameters in an operational context
C. Weinberger, E. Masciadri, M. De Sepibus +4
Forecasting optical turbulence and atmospheric parameters is crucial for science operations of present and new generation ground-based telescopes (ELT) as well as for free-space op…
Establishing baseline model performances for optical turbulence forecasting
M. De Sepibus, E. Masciadri, C. Weinberger +4
Accurate forecasting of optical turbulence (OT) is useful to optimise telescope scheduling and maximising observing efficiency, as the performance of adaptive optics systems strong…
Establishing baseline model performances for optical turbulence forecasting
M. De Sepibus, E. Masciadri, C. Weinberger +2
Accurate optical turbulence (OT) forecasts help telescopes observe with maximum efficiency, as the performance of adaptive optics (AO) systems strongly depends on turbulence condit…
