The simulation of the optical turbulence (OT) for astronomical applications obtained with non-hydrostatic atmospherical models at meso-scale presents, with respect to measurements, some advantages. The future of the ground-based astronomy relies upon the potentialities and feasibility of the ELTs. Our ability in knowing, controlling and 'managing' the effects of the turbulence on such a new generation telescopes and facilities are determinant to assure their competitiveness with respect to the space astronomy. In the past several studies have been carried out proving the feasibility of the simulation of realistic Cn2 profiles above astronomical sites. The European Community (FP6 Program) decided recently to fund a Project aiming, from one side, to prove the feasibility of the OT forecasts and the ability of meso-scale models in discriminating astronomical sites from optical turbulence point of view and, from the other side, to boost the development of this discipline at the borderline between the astrophysics and the meteorology. In this contribution I will present the scientific and technological goals of this project, the challenges for the ground-based astronomy that are related to the success of such a project and the international synergies that have been joint to optimize the results.

Towards the forecast of atmospheric parameters and optical turbulence above an astronomical site on 24h time scale
大气参数和光学湍流预报在地基天文中的应用是非常关键的,主要是队列调度。到目前为止,大多数努力已经解决了我们的小组在开发算法的光学湍流(CN 2)和所附的综合天体气候参数和量化的性能的Astro-Meso-Nh包在重建这些参数。此外,还对Meso-Nh在重建地基天文学相关大气参数方面的性能进行了深入的分析。我们的研究总是提到夜间制度。为了将我们的研究应用到白天的时间制度,我们提出,在这方面的贡献,通过比较模型输出和测量的经典大气参数相关的地基天文学在夜间和白天的时间得到的初步结果。我们选择了Roque de los Muchachos天文台(加那利群岛)作为测试案例,该天文台提供了由同一峰会/天文台上不同望远镜的不同传感器提供的非常扩展的测量集。接近地面的典型的白天的对流制度是非常不同的稳定制度的特点夜间。因此,这项研究的目的是扩大域的Astro-Meso-Nh代码的有效性,以新的湍流制度,它允许覆盖一天的24小时。这种方法不仅可以应用于太阳望远镜(例如EST),而且可以应用于范围更广的科学领域,而不仅仅是在卫星通信等天文学方面。
