Climatological cumulative distribution of wind speed measured on rear(*) mast at LBT (night + day): 2013-2022. |
Monthly median wind speed measured on rear(*) mast at LBT (night + day). Years 2013-2022. Values next to each dot represents the percentage of the samples in that month with respect to the total number of samples (top) and the total number of days worth of measurements in that month (bottom). The red bar is the standard deviation. Values of July and August are not shown for consistency with DIMM observations. |
* It has been observed that front sensors provide biased measurements (for the wind speed and direction) when the telescope is closed. Still not clear the reason but because of that, we considered measurements only from the rear sensor for the climatology estimate.
