Atmospheric monitoring at the site of the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo

Atmospheric monitoring at the site of the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo

For more than 20 years, the atmosphere above the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo and its surroundings at the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory have been monitored. From the first instruments installed in the early ‘90s to characterize and show the quality of the sky at the chosen site (particularly t...
