Scientific paper

We report initial results from a program of observations of boundary-layer turbulence at Cerro Tololo, Chile, using a 12-element lunar scintillometer. Observations were conducted on 75 clear nights over a period from July 2007 to June 2008, from a location near the northern end of the summit area. The median seeing FWHM at a height of 2.5 m above ground was found to be 0.60 arcsec. In median conditions, 50% of the contribution of the ground layer to the turbulence integral originates in the first 400 m of the atmosphere.
