Aa 385, 328--336 (2002)
From the South Pole, microthermal turbulence within a narrow surface boundary layer some 200 m thick provides the dominant contribution to the astronomical seeing. We present results for the seeing at a wavelength of 2.4 m. The narrow turbulence layer above the site, confined close to the surface, p...
