Abstract Review Corresponding Author Name Warren Skidmore Authors Name Affiliation Warren Skidmore Thirty Meter Telescope Lianqi Wang University of California, Irvine Matthias Schoeck Thirty Meter Telescope Gary Chanan University of California, Irvine Edison Bustos, Juan Seguel Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory Robert Blum Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory/NOAO Abstract Session 1 (Instrumentation and observations to quantify the magnitude and distribution of atmospheric optical turbulence.) Title 'The Thirty Meter Telescope DIMM systems' Abstract I describe the TMT DIMM systems, concentrating on the high speed drift mode of observations, data reduction methods and our DIMM system cross comparison campaign. I show that with correct optical alignment of the telescopes and DIMM optics we can characterise the seeing to better than +-0.02 arc seconds. Requirements of any DIMM system used for acquiring high quality DIMM measurements are listed. Return to Program and Events
