Scientific paper

A method for the photoelectric measurement of angle-of-arrival fluctuations at the solar limb is described, from which Fried's seeing parameter r0 can be determined. From a set of 2092 measurements, each of 10 s duration, performed on 146 observing days in the period from June 84 to September 86 at the solar vacuum tower telescope of the Sacramento Peak Observatory, a log-normal distribution of the r0 values gave a median r0 = 8.7 cm (measured at λ = 510 nm), with a standard deviation σ = 0.25 in logarithmic units. The results are compared with atmospheric sounding experiment data and longterm day- and night-time seeing statistics obtained at other observatories.
