The contributions of the surface layer (h in the range of 2 to 19 m above the earth) and the lower part of the atmospheric boundary layer (h in the range of 34 to 680 m) to atmospheric distortions of a nighttime astronomical image are determined. It is shown that, on a clear night, the characteristic intensity of optically active turbulence in the boundary layer above Mt. Sanglok is an order of magnitude weaker than that determined at other measurement sites (with the exception of Mauna Kea); the characteristic relative contribution of this layer to atmospheric distortions of the astronomical image is small.
