Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Seeing data from 41 campaigns at 23 sites ranging in altitude from 1130 to 5150 m and elevations between 1 and 30 m above grade are used to calibrate and test a simple seeing model that only involves altitude and elevation. The model is consistent with in situ studies of optical turbulence, reproducing measured median seeing values with a dispersion of 0 096, while at multiple‐campaign sites the actual data show a dispersion of 0 092. Surface‐layer turbulence is the characteristic that varies the most between campaigns and sites and is generally the dominant contribution to seeing at low elevations, the resulting image blur decreasing with a scale height of 3.5 m. The seeing distributions are lognormal at all sites, with quartile‐to‐median ratios of 4/5 and 5/4.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
