The pwv_kpno package was originally beta tested for Kitt Peak National Observatory. During this period various investigations were performed to validate not only the performance of the package, but the scientific results as well. We present a limited subset of these results here. While this does not provide a complete overview of our validation process, it does overview key points from our investigation.
Much of the work shown here can be found in the pwv_kpno paper: Perrefort, Wood-Vasey et al. 2018. Scientific questions concerning the package and its modeling capabilities are welcomed and can be submitted via GitHub (see the “Need Help?” link above) or by email to the paper’s primary author.
