The optical turbulence above Dome C in winter is mainly concentrated in the first tens of metres above the ground. Properties of this so-called surface layer (SL) were investigated during the period 2007–2012 by a set of sonic anemometers placed on a 45 m high tower. We present the results of this long-term monitoring of the refractive index...

We present the first measurements of Jupiter's wind profile ever obtained with Doppler velocity measurements in the visible. Hitherto, knowledge about atmospheric dynamics has been obtained with cloud-tracking techniques , which consist of tracking visible features from images taken at different dates. However, cloud tracking indicates the...
