Site surveys Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) Mauna Kea Seeing

Summary:

Multi-year, high-quality seeing measurements have been obtained at the five TMT candidate sites. An analysis of the statistical and temporal peroperties of seeing and isoplanatic angle measurements with Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM) and Multi-Aperture Scintillation Sensor (MASS) has been conducted. It was found that each site has its own strengths and weaknesses.
