The meeting aimed to deal with one of the major causes of wavefront perturbations limiting the astronomical high-angular-resolution observations from the ground. The uniqueness of this meeting has been the effort to attack this topic in a synergic and multidisciplinary approach promoting constructive discussions between the actors of this science - the astronomers, me 606 $aAtmospheric turbulence$vCongresses 606 $aMeteorological optics$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAtmospheric turbulence 615 0$aMeteorological optics 676 $a535.2 701 $aMasciadri$b Elena$0971101 701 $aSarazin$b Marc$0971102 712 12$aOptical Turbulence Characterization for Astronomical Applications 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455606003321 996 $aOptical turbulence$92207411 997 $aUNINA
