The measurement of the atmospheric extinction coefficient is one of the important and fundamental measurements for astronomical observatories. By using the newly built 2.4 m telescope at Gaomeigu Observing Station of Yunnan Observatory, the calibration works, such as the measurement of the atmospheric extinction coefficient, are carried out and their preliminary results are presented. By observing the Landolt standard stellar fields during April and May 2009, the atmospheric extinction coefficients of UBVRI five bands at two nights are given. In addition, the components which contribute to the atmospheric extinction coefficients of this site are discussed. The measured extinction coefficients are found to be broadly consistent with the previous results obtained in the site selection some years ago. And they are also compared with the values of the other well-known observing stations worldwide.
