Description
Atmospheric extinction data covering a long period are analysed. We
present infrared atmospheric extinction in the J, H and K bands obtained
at the Teide Observatory from 1989 to 1997. We find high-quality
statistical values, similar to those of other good sites, such as Mauna
Kea. We devote special attention to the study of the dependence of the
atmospheric extinction coefficient on wavelength for nights with Saharan
dust. The behaviour of the dust is grey in J and H, but not at longer
wavelengths.
