| Title | | 'A new model to forecast seeing and Cn2 profiles from meteorological profiles.' |
| Abstract | | A statistical study, performed over 145 profiles of meteorological balloons equipped with microthermal sensors, from the ground to the midstratosphere, put into evidence the correlation between the fluctuations of the buoyancy force, the vertical shear and the Cn2. A model is adjusted to estimate the optical turbulence strength from the macroscopic meteorological parameters at low vertical resolution. This model is presented as a new way to estimate the ground seeing and the altitude of the turbulent layers from meteorological forecast. The model performances are quantified and compared with other already defined models.
