Preliminary evaluation of Dome Fuji as a possible site for an infrared astronomical observatory -SODAR measurement of atmospheric turbulence in the boundary layer in Antarctic summer-

The Antarctic plateau can be the best astronomical observatory site on the earth because of its very dry air and low temperature. We have observed atmospheric turbulence in the boundary layer (up to the altitude of 1000m above ice surface) by SODAR during JARE-48. We obtained valid continuous data o...
