Book Description
This book collects most of the talks and poster presentations presented at the Optical Turbulence OCo Astronomy meets Meteorology international conference held on 15OCo18 September, 2008 at Nymphes Bay, Alghero, Sardinia, Italy. The meeting aimed to deal with one of the major causes of wavefront perturbations limiting the astronomical high-angular-resolution observations from the ground. The uniqueness of this meeting has been the effort to attack this topic in a synergic and multidisciplinary approach promoting constructive discussions between the actors of this science OCo the astronomers, meteorologists, physicists of the atmosphere and the experts in adaptive optics and interferometry techniques whose main goal is to correct, in real-time, the wavefront perturbations induced by atmospheric turbulence to restore at the telescope foci the best available image quality. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Optical Turbulence in High Angular Resolution Techniques in Astronomy (494 KB). Contents: Optical Turbulence in High Angular Resolution Techniques in Astronomy (J M Beckers); Optical Turbulence Profiles at CTIO from a 12-Element Lunar Scintillometer (P Hickson et al.); High Resolution SLODAR Measurements on Mauna Kea (T Butterley et al.); How We Can Understand the Antarctic Atmospheric? (J W V Storey et al.); The Paranal Surface Layar (J Melnick et al.); Introduction to Data Assimilation in Meteorology (P Brousseau OC L Auger); The Mauna Kea Weather Center: A Case for Custom Seeing Forecasts (T Cherubini et al.); Dealing with Turbulence: MCAO Experience and Beyond (R Ragazzoni et al.); Future-Look Science Operations for the LBT (R F Green); Surface Layer SLODAR (J Osborn et al.); and other papers. Readership: Advanced undergraduates and graduate students, and physicists working in the field of astronomy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Latest Advances in Weather Forecasting at a Long Range by Sunspots and Planetary Positions The sunspot is not yet, fully understood, nor is meteorology, nor planetary influence, nor electromagnetism. However much we may imagine we know about these subjects, no well-trained mind can deny that much more remains to be learned. Hence we do not feel disposed to agree with those who say these fields have been investigated and found wanting so much that our knowledge of the causes of phenomena remains in the statu quo of the old ignorance. Much more is now known of the sunspot than, say, ten years ago, thanks to Dr. Hale of Mt. Wilson and his devoted and learned staff, not to mention others in and out of the United States. Meteorology, too, has advanced to a knowledge of causes undreamt of before, and our wireless systems of telegraphy have opened new avenues of indefinite progress. Planetary influence on both sun and earth has been subjected to rigid tests and marvelous results have been obtained. Hence it were but little surprise if at no distant date, there were a complete turning of tables. The very men, who had been, as it were. Relegated to an obscure corner and belittled as aspirants to scientific treasures beyond reach, will be the very ones that a grateful posterity will hail as benefactors of the race. We have special reference to such painstaking students of nature as have spent from ten to fifty years of their useful lives in tracing the complicated phenomena of astronomy, meteorology, seismology and biology to their proximate and ultimate causes, and yet have been so modest as to avoid self-assertion and even publicity during the experimental period of their proceedings. Not only is the sunspot now better known in itself, but also in its relation to aero-physics, the jealous department where every man is wiser than his neighbor and the mixed up total of individual wisdoms, if only photographed, might be exhibited as the picture of general unknowableness. The modest quota contributed by the Santa Clara Observatory may be described as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
