make_las_campanas_atmospheric_layers
- hcipy.atmosphere.make_las_campanas_atmospheric_layers(input_grid, r0=0.16, L0=25, wavelength=5.5e-07)
Creates a multi-layer atmosphere for the Las Campanas Observatory site.
The layer parameters are taken from [Males2019] who based it on site testing from [Prieto2010] and [Osip2011] .
