Optical turbulence forecast for ground-based astronomy and free-space optical communication
Elena Masciadri, Alessio Turchi, Camilo Weinberger +2
Forecasting optical turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere has been an ambitious challenge for the astronomical scientific community for several decades. While earlier research prima…
FAST: A software suite for automatic weather and optical turbulence forecast on ground-based telescope sites
A. Turchi, E. Masciadri, L. Fini
In this contribution we present the FAST, which is a comprehensive software suite that aims to streamline and automatically manage the forecast of atmospheric and astroclimatic par…
Optical turbulence forecast for the European Solar Telescope (EST): the challenge of the day-time regime

In this contribution we present preliminary results of a study applied to the Observatories of Roque de Los Muchachos (La Palma) and Teide (Tenerife) in Canary Islands aiming to in…
FATE -- an operational automatic system for optical turbulence forecasting at the Very Large Telescope
Elena Masciadri, Alessio Turchi, Luca Fini +5
In this contribution we report the on-going progresses of the project FATE, an operational automatic forecast system conceived to deliver forecasts of a set of astroclimatic and at…
Towards operational optical turbulence forecast systems at different scales
Elena Masciadri, Alessio Turchi, Luca Fini
The forecast on a time scale of 1 or 2 hours is crucial for all kind of new generation facilities (ELTs) instrumentation supported by the adaptive optics that will be mainly operat…
Characterization of LBT atmospheric and turbulence conditions in the context of ALTA project
A. Turchi, E. Masciadri, C. Veillet
ALTA project has been active since 2016, providing, at LBT observatory site, forecasts of atmospheric parameters, such as temperature, wind speed and direction, relative humidity a…
