{"product_id":"optical-turbulence-elena-masciadri-9781848164857","title":"Optical Turbulence: Astronomy Meets Meteorology - Proceedings of the Optical Turbulence Characterization for Astronomical Applications","description":"This book collects most of the talks and poster presentations presented at the 'Optical Turbulence -- Astronomy meets Meteorology' international conference held on 15-18 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 -- 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elena Masciadri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848164858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848164857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imperial College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.80w x 1.00d","brand":"Elena Masciadri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47135427821823,"sku":"9781848164857","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8698415f-98fc-41c3-928c-b5bbc2375e56.jpg?v=1755010118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/optical-turbulence-elena-masciadri-9781848164857","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
