Summary
Presentation of the GSM Principle Configuration and optical device
Atmospheric optical parameters (AOP) data Data of the outer scale L0, seeing and isoplanatic
angle measured at different sites over the world:
La Silla, Pachon, Paranal (Chile), Oukaïmeden (Morocco) and Maydanak (Uzbekistan)

Presentation of the GSM
GSM is equipped with 4 telescopes : each one measures synchronously the angle of arrival (AA) of the wavefront spatial covariance L0 differential variance
scintillation

GSM/DIMM comparison
Surface layer effect:
GSM was installed at a height of 1.7 m.
DIMM was installed at a height of 5 m.
Exposure time effect:
5 ms for GSM 10 ms for DIMM

Effect of the exposure time
Linear extrapolation is done to evaluate the differential variance at the origine
d2(0ms) = 2 d
2(5ms) - d2(10ms)
