These cover the followingaspects: weather, cloud coverage, local meteorology, atmospheric optical extinction, millimetric opacity, seeing,optical turbulence profiles, wind profiles and 3D simulations of atmospheric turbulence. Overall, San PedroMártir is one the most favorable sites in the world for astronomical observations. Its excellent turbulence andlocal wind conditions, to mention but two characteristics, make it particularly well suited for large telescopes.Long-term monitoring of the site is being undertaken by the National Autonomous University of Mexico andother international institutions 2007 artículo científico 0185-1101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57102803 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=571 Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica (México) Vol.28 |
