Confirmation of the No-Corelation of Seeing and Scintilation

In this section a confirmation of the theory was done concerning the no correlation of seeing and scintilation. As it is already been said seeing and scintilation are caused by different layers in the atmosphere, with seeing produced by cells in the lower and scintilation by cells in the upper atmosphere.

Here silmutanious observations of seeing and scintilation were made with the H-DIMM unit in mount Xolomon. The obervations are the same with the ones that are already presented, so here only a simple comparison is made. The night of $04/07/2006$ was taken for this comparison. In this particular night it is very evident the non correlation of seeing and scintilation. Of course the conclusions is universal despite the example of only one night. The same characteristics are evident in most of the nights, but for artistic reasons and availiable space only one night is chosen.

For a certain corelation, a combined diagrams technic is used. This technic is working by fitting with least squears of seeing and scintilation as it is shown at figure 6.2. Then we take these two diagrams and combined them to one. If the angle that is formed is small or zero then it means that the values are correlated. If the angle is $90^{o}$ or even bigger then it means that they are un-correlated.

The result is shown in figure 6.3. The angle here is larger than $90^{o}$. So it is obvious that Seeing and Scintilation do not correlate in any way and thus they are indepented. This is a way to prove that seeing and scintilation are actually caused by different layers in the atmosphere.
