The project lasted three years and its principal aim has been to define the performances of an atmospherical non-hydrostatical mesoscale model (Meso-NH) in forecasting all the main atmospherical parameters relevant for astronomical applications and the optical turbulence with the associated integrated astroclimatic parameters above Cerro Paranal (site of the VLT) and Cerro Armazones (site of the E-ELT). Considering the promising results obtained so far, this study sets-up the bases for the implementation on these sites of an automatic system to be run nightly in an operational configuration to support the scheduling of scientific programs as well as of instrumentation of the VLT and the E-ELT. <P />STAMPAenArticlehttp://sait.oat.ts.astro.it/MSAIt860315/index.html2015MmSAI..86..454MFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAScienze Fisiche Settori ERC (ERC) di riferimento::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_17 Instrumentation – telescopes, detectors and techniques
