Abstract

The atmospheric boundary layer contribution to the total seeing atDome C is presented in this paper. With a mean value of0.07'', this is one of the most stable boundary layerencountered. We discuss the temporal evolution of this part of theatmosphere and its relationship with meteorological parameters. Inwinter, the combined effects of the low wind speeds and low inversionlayer translate to the creation of little thermal turbulence above30 m.
