Scientific paper

An experiment to collect data on atmospheric turbulence has been conducted on the 107-in telescope located at the McDonald Observatory in Texas. The phase and the intensity of aberrated starlight have been measured over the aperture of the telescope. Simultaneous measurements of free-atmosphere seeing and local temperature differences have been made to gauge the strength of turbulence within the dome vs. turbulence in the free atmosphere.
