Abstract

MZA Associates has developed and tested multiple atmospheric profiling tools to determine the levels of turbulence within a given area. This includes using multiple sensors, include imaging systems, as well as wavefront sensor (WFS) based systems. These sensors have been set up to operate unattended, including weatherproofed and non-weatherproofed hardware configurations, and are all operated through a centralized processing software called the Module Atmospheric Sensor Suite (MASS). In order to support further development of atmospheric characterization techniques, MZA has also developed a Matlab based software suite called ProfilerTools. Utilizing this software suite allows for further testing and evaluation of WFS data collected from single or dual ended systems. This paper describes the ProfilerTools libraries and how it is used to process WFS data from MZA commercial equipment and experimental WFS systems.
