Abstract
Session1 (Instrumentation and observations to quantify the magnitude and distribution of atmospheric optical turbulence.)
Title'The Mauna Kea ground-layer characterization campaign'
AbstractWe have begun a 12-month study of the distribution of turbulence within the
first kilometer above the summit of Mauna Kea for the Gemini Observatory.
The campaign uses a combination of a SLODAR and a LOLAS to provide a dataset
of the turbulence strength and velocity with high-temporal sampling
(1 minute) and high spatial sampling (dh~25m) as well as the integrated and
free-atmosphere seeing. We discuss the issues in combining and operating the
SLODAR/LOLAS instrument and present examples from the dataset.
