Dome C coherence time statistics from DIMM data
E. Aristidi, A. Agabi, L. Abe +3
We present a reanalysis of several years of DIMM data at the site of Dome C, Antarctica, to provide measurements of the coherence time . Statistics and seasonal behaviour of $…
Site testing study based on weather balloons measurements
E. Aristidi, A. Agabi, M. Azouit +8
We present wind and temperature profiles at Dome C measured by balloon born sonds during the polar summer. Data from 197 flights have been processed for 4 campaigns between 2000 an…
Monitoring the optical turbulence in the surface layer at Dome C, Antarctica, with sonic anemometers
Eric Aristidi, Jean Vernin, Eric Fossat +11
The optical turbulence above Dome C in winter is mainly concentrated in the first tens of meters above the ground. Properties of this so-called surface layer (SL) were investigated…
Site testing for submillimetre astronomy at Dome C, Antarctica
P. Tremblin, V. Minier, N. Schneider +17
Over the past few years a major effort has been put into the exploration of potential sites for the deployment of submillimetre astronomical facilities. Amongst the most important…
Some results after 10 years of site testing at Concordia, Antarctica
Eric Fossat
At an altitude of 3250m and at a latitude of S, the Italo-French Concordia station was open to winter-over teams in 2005. It is one of the high points of the Antarctic po…
Typical duration of good seeing sequences at Concordia
Eric Fossat, Eric Aristidi, Karim Agabi +4
Context: The winter seeing at Concordia is essentially bimodal, excellent or quite poor, with relative proportions that depend on altitude above the snow surface. This paper studie…
Dome C site testing: surface layer, free atmosphere seeing and isoplanatic angle statistics
E. Aristidi, E. Fossat, A. Agabi +7
This paper analyses 3.5 years of site testing data obtained at Dome C, Antarctica, based on measurements obtained with three DIMMs located at three different elevations. Basic stat…
