Abstract

VOGIATZIS, K.  and  HIRIART, D.. Numerical wind modeling for the San Pedro Mártir Sierra in Baja California. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2004, vol.40, n.1, pp.81-98. ISSN 0185-1101.

We have used numerical simulations of wind over San Pedro Mártir Sierra to make a first evaluation of potential sites for astronomical use. Initially, we have analyzed the highest points on the Sierra but with easy access. We present the turbulence and size of the boundary layer for typical speed and wind directions on these sites.

Keywords : Atmospheric effects; Site selection; Turbulence.
