Detailed studies of atmospheric calibration in imaging Cherenkov astronomy (2010)
Journal Article
Nolan, S., Pühlhofer, G., & Rulten, C. (2010). Detailed studies of atmospheric calibration in imaging Cherenkov astronomy. Astroparticle Physics, 34, 304-313

► A ceilometer was used to probe the atmosphere above the TeV instrument H.E.S.S. ► The atmosphere was modelled using MODTRAN and used in cosmic-ray simulations. ► Cosmic-ray simulations were matched to real background data. ► TeV Gamma-ray data affe...
