ISOPLANATIC ANGLE (θ0) MAP

Isoplanatic angle horizontal map extended on a 50km x 50km square surface centred on LBT (represented with a black dot). The isoplanatic angle in integrated in [dome-20000]m vertical slab.
The isoplanatic angle in each pixel is obtained integrating the CN2 along the zenith and covering the temporal range [dusk,dawn].
On the top left, an animation with a temporal evolution with 1-hour steps in the [dusk,dawn] time frame is shown.
On the top right, an average over the [dusk-dawn] time frame is shown.
On the bottom, isplanatic angle averages are computed over the first, central and last part of the night (see partition).
The black iso-lines represent the heights of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM).
