Abstract

The proposed framework can capture realistic spatiotemporal variations in atmospheric turbulence parameters based on local meteorological conditions, such as Fried's parameter r0, isoplanatic angles θ0, seeing ε, scintillation rate , and the wavefront coherence time τ0. Those parameters have been deduced from the refractive index structure parameter Two Iraqi locations were compared, specifically the middle and southern borders, and atmospheric turbulence parameters relevant to astronomical observation were measured, lines were drawn at latitudes 34.26° and 28.31°, respectively. The methodology included collecting meteorological data from both sites and performing numerical simulations based on atmospheric turbulence parameters. According to the criteria of air turbulence, the results showed that the middle of Iraq was better than the southern location for astronomical observation.
