First results of site testing program at Mt. Shatdzhatmaz in 2007 - 2009 [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 408, Issue 2, pp. 1233-1248, 2010, 2010
We present the first results of the site testing performed at Mt.~Shatdzhatmaz at Northern Caucasus, where the new Sternberg astronomical institute 2.5-m telescope will be installed. An automatic site monitor instrumentation and functionality are described together with the methods of measurement of the basic astroclimate and weather parameters.

On the benefits of the Eastern Pamirs for sub-mm astronomy [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Thanks to the first mm studies on the territory of the former USSR in the early 1960s and succeeding sub-mm measurements in the 1970s - early 1980s at wavelengths up to 0.34 mm, a completely unique astroclimate was revealed in the Eastern Pamirs, only slightly inferior to the available conditions on the Chajnantor plateau in Chile and Mauna Kea.

Optical instability of the earth's atmosphere [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
Meteorological data have been used to calculate refractive index fluctuations - the indicator of optical instability of the Earth's atmosphere. The calculations were made for standard pressure levels of the atmosphere in winter and summer. They are presented as distributions over the Earth's surface. The findings enabled us to determine preferred areas
