“…In order to obtain the basic astroclimatic characteristics, namely, the statistics of the OT vertical distribution, clear night-sky time, and local meteo parameters such as the surface wind speed and direction, ambient temperatures, and humidity, we have developed an automatic seeing monitor (ASM). The details of the apparatus and functioning algorithm have been described in (Kornilov et al , 2012b; thus, here we only recall its key features.…”

“…Software modules are started and run independently and communicate to each other using TCP/IP connections. This ensures global system stability and allows considerable simplification of the programs structure since a part of functioning is OS-driven (Kornilov et al 2012b).…”

We present the results of the atmospheric optical turbulence (OT) measurements performed atop Mt. Shatdzhatmaz at the installation site of new 2.5-m telescope of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. Nearly 300 000 vertical OT profiles from the ground up to an altitude of 23 km were obtained in the period with the combined multi-aperture scintillation sensor (MASS) and differential image motion monitor (DIMM) instrument.The medians of the main OT characteristics computed over the whole dataset are as follows: the integral seeing β 0 = 0.96 arcsec, the free-atmosphere seeing β f ree = 0.43 arcsec, and the isoplanatic angle θ 0 = 2.07 arcsec. The median atmospheric time constant is τ 0 = 6.57 ms. The revealed long-term variability of these parameters on scales of months and years implies the need to take it into account in astroclimatic campaign planning. For example, the annual variation in the monthly θ 0 estimate amounts up to 30% while the time constant τ 0 changes by a factor of 2.5.Evaluation of the potential of Mt. Shatdzhatmaz in terms of high angular resolution observations indicates that in October-November, this site is as good as the best of studied summits in the world.
