Paper Abstract
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project has been collecting data on five candidate sites since 2003. This paper
describes the site testing portion of the TMT site selection program and the process and standards employed
by it. This includes descriptions of the candidate sites, the process by which they were identified, the site
characterization instrument suite and its calibration and the available results, which will be published shortly.
