Antarctic site testing -- microthermal measurements of surface-layer seeing at the South Pole
. Results from experiments measuring the optical seeing in the surface layer at the South Pole Station are presented. Seeing measurements were taken over 49 data runs between April and August 1994, using microthermal sensors placed at 3 levels on a 27m-high mast. The seeing contribution from this re...
