Scientific paper

It is shown that there is a strong experimental correlation between a good seeing and a low wind speed at the tropopause level. The study rely on already published seasonal variations of the seeing in La Silla, Chile, and Hawaii, and on atlas of climatology of the atmospheric circulation at 200 millibars level. It seems that sub-arc second seeing conditions require tropopause wind speeds lower than 20 m s-1.
