{"product_id":"9781848164857","title":"Optical Turbulence: Astronomy Meets Meteorology: Proceedings of the Optical Turbulence Characterization for Astronomical Applications","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038139138288,"sku":"9781848164857","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848164857_p0.jpg?v=1763753057","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848164857","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
