| Research Abstract |
In 1987, we made microthermal measurement with a tower of 30m heigh at a site next to the KECK telescope in the noth-west region of the summit of Maunk Kea. Results showed that the seeing condition at the site is fairly good. In 1988, we made wind-pressure measurement at the mirror position with CFHT.
