摘要
The optical turbulence above Dome C in winter is mainly concentrated in the first tens of meters above the ground The properties of this so-called surface layer were investigated during the last two winterover by a set of sonics anemometers placed on a 45 m high tower These anemometers provide measurements of the temperature and the wind speed vector The sampling rate of 10 Hz allows to derivate the refractive index structure constant C-n(2) We report here the first analysis of these data
