Read Abstract +

The image quality of ground-based solar telescopes depends on the amount of turbulence in the Earth’s atmosphere, which is strongest in layers close to the ground during daytime. Local optical turbulence affects the performance of adaptive optical systems and reduces the spatial resolution of solar observations. Increased turbulence which is caused by solar irradiation of the infrastructure close to the telescope and obstructions to a free airflow are major concerns, but difficult to detect and to monitor. We have conducted measurements of optical turbulence at the GREGOR solar telescope (Teide Observatory, Tenerife, Canary Islands) to assess quantitatively the influence of the infrastructure on the image quality. The strength of optical turbulence is determined by the structure function parameter of the refractive index Cn2. We have measured the temporal behavior of the free flow optical turbulence about 30m above ground using a laser scintillometer between the towers of the Vacuum Tower Telescope and of GREOR. Local measurements of Cn2 were taken on the observing platform of GREGOR using three ultrasonic anemometers. Two anemometers are located at the north and south ends of the telescope building, a third one was be placed close to the telescope main mirror cell. Air temperature, pressure, humidity as well as wind speed and direction were measured along with refractive index measurements. An image quality indicator based on an estimate of the Fried parameter r0 was recorded whenever the adaptive optics system GAOS at the GREGOR telescope was operating. Recordings of the net solar radiation were obtained from the GONG experiment which is located a few 100 m from GREGOR. All data were taken between May 2015 and March 2016. We investigate the relation between optical turbulence, solar irradiance and meteorological parameters. Under almost all conditions, optical turbulence nearby the telescope is stronger than free flow turbulence. We note significant dependencies of the strength and the horizontal gradient of Cn2 on wind direction. The moderate influence on image quality indicates that there is only a thin layer with strong turbulence just above the telescope.

Optical turbulence represented by the structure function parameter of the refractive index C_n ² is a relevant parameter for the performance of electro-optical systems and characterization of the atmospheric influence on imaging. It was investigated during a field trial above an Highveld grassland in the atmospheric surface layer at the Rietvlei Nature Reserve close to Pretoria in South Africa from 18th June to 30th June 2013. This campaign was performed to compare different measurement techniques analyzing the diurnal formation of the vertical distribution of optical turbulence up to a height of 16 m above ground. The chosen time period was characterized by a pronounced diurnal cycle of the meteorological conditions, i.e. low variations from day to day. Ultra sonic anemometers were used to measure high frequency time series (50 Hz) of temperature at single points. From the statistical analysis of these time series C_n ² was derived. Three instruments were mounted at a portable mast in the center of slant path measurements over a horizontal distance of 1000 m using large aperture scintillometers (Boundary layer scintillometer BLS 900). Averaging over a time period of 5 minutes, the results of both methods are compared. The agreement in the results of optical turbulence is quite good. Discrepancies and agreement are analyzed with respect to the atmospheric stability and other meteorological parameters. Lowest values of C_n ² at 4.6 m above ground amount to about 8*10^-17 m^-2/3, daily maxima to 6*10^-13 m^-2/3. Additional to the nearly constant meteorological conditions in the diurnal cycle, the uniformity of the terrain let the results of this measurement campaign an ideal data set for investigating methodological questions regarding a comparison of single point measurements with integrated measurements over a horizontal distance. Four stability regimes were identified in the diurnal cycle and investigated. These are convective conditions during the day, neutral conditions about sunrise and sunset, and two different stable regimes at night.
