| Title | | 'Characterizing ground-layer turbulence with a simple lunar scintillometer' |
| Abstract | | The contribution of the first 10-20m above ground to the total seeing
may be significant and has to be measured in order to determine the
height of future domes and to translate the site-testing data to
higher domes. A simple yet accurate way to measure the Cn2 profiles in
the ground layer is offered by solar and lunar scintillation. We
present a new simple lunar scintillometer, LuSci. A robust method of
profile restoration including models of lunar phases is
developed. First tests of this technique are described.
