Abstract
We present results of the study of seasonal variations of the astroclimate parameters for the Terskol Observatory: wind speed at the level of 200 mbar as a measure of the adaptive optics (AO) applicability, the wind speed altitude distribution, determining the requirements for the AO performance, moisture content to assess the possibility of AO operation in the IR range, the parameters of the mesospheric sodium layer, determining the brightness of the laser reference star for AO systems, in connection with the task of designing adaptive optics for the Zeiss-2000 telescope. Data on surface wind speed and total cloud cover are also analyzed to assess the available observation time. The data of atmospheric reanalysis were used, with the help of which the parameters under consideration have been studied in large astronomical observatories, as well as satellite data of measurements of mesospheric sodium and full-scale changes in surface wind velocity.
