Scientific paper

A new method for measuring the altitude and velocity of turbulent layers in the atmosphere -which cause the astronomical seeing and scintillation or 'twinkling' of the stars - has been demonstrated at the WHT. SLODAR (SLOpe Detection And Ranging) is a triangulation method, in which the turbulence profile is recovered from observations of bright binary stars using a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor.
