Astronomical site ranking based on tropospheric wind statistics
High-altitude wind speeds have been adopted as a parameter for astronomical site selection based on the relationship found at the Paranal and Cerro Pachón sites between the average velocity of the turbulence (V0) and winds at the 200-mbar pressure level (V200). Although this relationship has not been checked at any other site in the world and a
