Abstract:

This work is a continuation of the paper “Measurements of atmospheric parameters along an extended paths. I. Acoustic measurements of turbulence and average wind speed” and is devoted to the results of optical measurements of atmospheric turbulence along horizontal atmospheric paths. These measurements were carried out to determine the effective mean values of atmospheric turbulence parameters along an optical radiation propagation path and the associated coherence length of optical waves propagating through the atmosphere. The path optical measurements were supported by AMK-03 acoustic weather station measurements. That made it possible to compare the local acoustic and optical measurements of turbulence with different optical meters.

Keywords:

turbulence, acoustic and optical waves, propagation, horizontal paths
