Abstract: We describe an interferometric seeing monitor which measures the wavefront perturbations due to the atmosphere directly, rather than depending on an assumed model for these perturbations. It is able to measure simultaneously both the spatial and temporal parameters of the seeing (r 0 and t 0 ) and to test theoretical models. We report results from the commissioning run on the William Herschel Telescope.

Topic-specific impact indicators

Popularity:
This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network.
Influence:
This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Citation Count:
This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Impulse:
This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network.
