Abstract

The strength of optical turbulence, C_n²(z), 2–3 m above ground level, was measured as a function of distance along a 1.23-km path by the simultaneous capture of the scintillation from two infrared laser sources. The data collected differs in a number of important aspects from the normal vertical scintillation detection and ranging (SCIDAR) data in astronomy. The SCIDAR inversion method for the horizontal path problem is outlined and demonstrated on experimental data collected from three field trials.
