This project will support development and publication of a textbook entitled "Seeing Clearly: The Measurement and Impacts of Atmospheric Turbulence and Refractivity on the Propagation of Extraterrestrial Radiation." The text, with chapter contributions from acknowledged leaders in an array of relevant fields, will serve as a lasting resource for scientists and graduate-level students seeking a fundamental understanding of the impacts of atmospheric turbulence on Earth-based optical astronomy. It will draw upon input gained at the first Symposium on Seeing (SOS) held in 2007.The intellectual merit of this effort derives from an enriched interdisciplinary exchange that should support further advances in optimal development application of adaptive optics based upon a fuller knowledge of turbulent behavior of the atmospheric medium.Broader impacts will come through education and dissemination of key information needed to mitigate turbulence-generated interference with clear astronomical measurements. Efforts to reach a diverse readership will be enhanced development of a relatively low-cost web-based version of the text whose availability will be broadly advertised across the meteorological and astronomical communities.

该项目将支持编写和出版一本题为《看得很清楚：大气湍流和折射对地外辐射传播的测量和影响》的教科书。这本书的章节由一系列相关领域的公认领导者提供，将成为科学家和研究生寻求基本了解大气湍流对地面光学天文学影响的持久资源。这项工作的学术价值来自于丰富的跨学科交流，这应该支持在更全面地了解大气介质的湍流行为的基础上，在自适应光学的最佳发展应用方面取得进一步进展。更广泛的影响将通过教育和传播所需的关键信息来实现，这些关键信息需要用清晰的天文测量来减轻湍流产生的干扰。为吸引不同读者，将加强开发相对低成本的网络文本，其提供情况将在气象和天文学社区广泛宣传。
