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…
The Development of Single Star Scidar for Tibet and Dome A
Li-Yong Liu, Yong-Qiang Yao, Jean Vernin +3
A Single Star Scidar system(SSS) has been developed for remotely sensing atmospheric turbulence profiles. The SSS consists of computing the spatial auto/cross-correlation functions…
European Extremely Large Telescope Site Characterization II: High angular resolution parameters
Héctor Vázquez Ramió, Jean Vernin, Casiana Muñoz-Tuñón +17
This is the second article of a series devoted to European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) site characterization. In this article we present the main properties of the parameters…
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…
First whole atmosphere night-time seeing measurements at Dome C, Antarctica
Abdelkrim Agabi, Eric Aristidi, Max Azouit +5
We report site testing results obtained in night-time during the polar autumn and winter at Dome C. These results were collected during the first Concordia winterover by A. Agabi.…
