Abstract
Session1 (Instrumentation and observations to quantify the magnitude and distribution of atmospheric optical turbulence.)
Title'Assembling composite vertical atmospheric turbulence profiles from DIMM, SLODAR and MASS contemporaneous records at Paranal'
AbstractCombining DIMM and MASS data provides access to the full profile of the atmospheric turbulence with a 500m resolution at ground level. This has become a standard feature of most site monitoring programs worldwide.
A version of SLODAR which probes the first kilometer above ground with 150m resolution has been used in campaign mode at Paranal during the past years. The database accumulated when all three instruments were operated together is used to build a statistical estimate of standard turbulence profiles at Parana
