NB: from now on we concentrate on seeing, as scintillation for large telescopes is unimportant
b) intensity changes: scintillation!i/i on the ground is proportional to h!", i.e. # h e -h/h this function has maximum at h = H = 8.5 km! scintillation comes mostly from high layers! seeing and scintillation
