Abstract
Session1 (Instrumentation and observations to quantify the magnitude and distribution of atmospheric optical turbulence.)
Title'Generalized Scidar measurements at Mt. Graham'
AbstractWe present the results of Generalized SCIDAR (GS) measurements of the vertical distribution of the optical turbulence above Mt. Graham in south-eastern Arizona. In this paper, the first results of an on-going site-characterization campaign covering 16 nights, distributed over 1 year are presented. Measurements show that most of the turbulence above Mt. Graham is concentrated near the ground and the excellent suitability of Mt. Graham for astronomical observations in terms of seeing, isoplanatic angle and coherence time. By combining the data from GS analyzed in conventional
