Scientific paper

The characteristics of the Mauna Kea site are reviewed. An extensive site survey by NOAO during 1984-1985 showed that the average seeing was in the 0.4-0.6 arcsec range that r(0) was approximately 30 cm. An image quality study at the UH 88-inch telescope in 1987 showed the free atmosphere seeing was 0.5 arcsec and the boundary layer contributed less than 0.25 arcsec.
