Abstract. A good astronomical site must fulfill several criteria including low atmospheric turbulence and low wind speeds. is therefore important to have a detailed knowledge of the temperature and wind conditions of a location considered for future … astronomical research.

Abstract. The high plateau that covers half of the continent of Antarctica contains the best astronomical observing sites … on Earth. The infrared sky background is low, the precipitable water vapour is low, the sub-millimetre sky opacity is low, the winds are low…

We evaluate the effect that radome transparency has on atmospheric … opacity measurements performed by the skydip technique. We show that, except at rather high opacities, it is not sufficient to ignore losses in the … radome (or “window”)…

Authors:

Truffer M.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Geophysical inverse methods are used to calculate the basal motion of a glacier. They are applied to a one-dimensional forward model that can be linearized to make the analysis simpler. The inverse method finds a solution that fits the data within a given error.
