Abstract:This study emphasizes the importance of conducting a comprehensive analysis considering the Cn2 atmospheric parameter for a reliable assessment of the seeing value. It highlights the use of the ECMWF ERA5 model to simulate pressure, temperature, and humidity profiles, enabling the evaluation of optical degradation. Accurate modeling and monitoring of temperature and humidity variables are emphasized for precise data in optical communication and astronomical observations. It also discusses the significance of o… Show more
