make_standard_atmospheric_layers

hcipy.atmosphere.make_standard_atmospheric_layers(input_grid, cn_squared=None, outer_scale=None)

Create a multi-layer atmosphere for the Mauna Kea observatory site.

The layer parameters are taken from [Guyon2005], in turn derived from [Tokovinin2005] and are representative for Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

A. Tokovinin et al., “Optical Turbulence Profiles at Mauna Kea Measured by MASS and SCIDAR”, PASP 117 395 (2005).

Parameters:

input_gridGrid: The input grid for the atmospheric layers.
cn_squaredscalar: The integrated Cn^2 value for all layers. If this is None (default), then a Fried parameter of 0.2m at 500nm is used.
outer_scalescalar or None: The outer scale of the atmosphere. If this is None (default), then an outer scale of 10m is used.

Returns:
