Site Testing: Seeing, Earth Atmosphere: Turbulence

Scientific paper

Based on paper (I) (see Abstr. 57.082.063) and with the problems arising from the practice of the site testing in recent years, the definition and the physical meaning of the atmospheric coherence diameter and time are further discussed in this paper. Then, the effect of the free atmospheric turbulence on the astronomical imaging and the importance of its investigation and determination are emphasized. Finally, the questions on calibration and systematic error etc. in the seeing measurements by using the method of the differential image motion are analysed.
