Top: Low-pass 20 cm images degraded 15 cm by high-order aberrations, 10 cm i.e., by S 7, cm corresponding to 5 r0=25, cm 20, 15, 10, 7 and 5 cm, resp. (same layout as Fig. 1). Bottom: Degraded images compensated by use of the method described, i.e., by Ŝ. All images are scaled between min and max of the original image and low-pass filtered to 90% of the SST diffraction limit. The numbers above and below the image tiles are the RMS contrasts in percent of the mean intensity (100 RMS/mean). Solution Post-restoration correction based on atmospheric statistics. Not in pipeline yet. Scharmer & Löfdahl (2010) The synthetic images were processed with the MOMFBD program in various ways (MFBD or JPDS, different numbers of realizations, different subfield sizes (256 pixels = 15, 128 pixels = 7. 6, 80 pixels = 4. 7), different number of estimated wavefront parameters, without and with added noise). In this section we summarize the results of these simulations. Mats Löfdahl (Institute for Solar Physics) Introduction to MOMFBD Freiburg / 13
