摘　　要：This is the second paper of a series devoted to atmospheric optical turbulence Cn^2 observation using a mobile polar atmospheric parameter measurement system. We present the initial results of Cn^2 measurement at Antarctic Taishan Station using micro-thermal sensors and a three-dimensional sonic anemometer at height -2.0 m above the snow surface. The site testing experiments were carried out during the 30th Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition （CH1NARE）. We collected about 1 000 h of data between 30 December 2013 and 10 February 2014. The C,： curve exhibits clear daily structures, with two peaks around midnight and midday and two troughs around 7：30 and 17：00 local time （UTC＋5）. The mean C,2 is 2.7×10^-15 m^-2/3 and the 25th and 75th percentiles of the C,2 cumulative distribution are 9.6×10^-16 m^-2/3 and 6.2×10^-15 m^-2/3, respectively. Meteorological parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and air pressure are also presented.This is the second paper of a series devoted to atmospheric optical turbulence Cn^2 observation using a mobile polar atmospheric parameter measurement system.
