Abstract
Negotiations are under way to locate an atmospheric visibility monitoring (AVM) observatory at Mount Lemmon, just north of Tucson, Arizona. Two more observatories will be located in the southwestern U.S. The observatories are being employed to improve a weather model for deep-space-to-ground optical communications. This article explains the factors considered in choosing a location and recommends Table Mountain Observatory as the location for another AVM facility.
