These measurements have been made with the first fully autonomous differential image motion monitor, the A-DIMM. The analysis shows an average seeing of 1.9″ with a standard deviation of 0.6″. The extensive set of data has allowed the study of the seeing time variations, showing that the seeing varies by a factor of two within a characteristic time of 2 hours.Keywords: Dynamics; Image analysis; Space research; Statistical mechanics; Site testing; South pole; Winter; Astronomy Site testing; Turbulence200310.1051/0004-6361:200311702015-12-11
