Estimation of the astronomical seeing at the large solar vacuum telescope site from optical and meteorological measurements

Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics volume 27, pages 142–146 (2014)Cite this article

Abstract

Results of synchronous optical and meteorological measurements of Fried’s coherence length at the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope are presented. A decrease in this parameter in winter time is revealed. Spectra of wind speed and temperature inhomogeneities are studied during measurements of the Fried’s length.
