AN EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON THE STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SCINTILLATION OF A LIGHT-SOURCE AT GROUND LEVEL,
Abstract
The phenomenon of scintillation (twinkling) and shimmering of stars, or of other sources of radiation both outside the limits of the terrestrial atmosphere and inside it, was considered in connection with problems of observational astronomy and certain problems of radiometeorology. A detailed theory of these phenomena was worked out, based on concepts of the theory of localisotropic turbulence.
