The GSM campaign at Paranal (26Nov-23Dec 1998) used the same instrumentation as one year before at La Silla (28Aug-18Sep 1997)

Measurement of the Wavefront Outer Scale at Paranal ( GSM , Nice University, 27Nov-20Dec 1998). Time series compared to seeing and isoplanatic angle: there is no correlation with either parameter. A median isoplanatic angle of 1.9 arcsec was found during this period of particularly bad seeing (median 0.87 arcsec) at Paranal.


Overall Statistics for the Wavefront Outer Scale at Paranal: a median value of 22m was found.
