An Optical System for Profiling Wind and Refractive-Index Fluctuation

Abstract

An instrument is described that measures the crosswind and the refractive-index structure parameter (C sub n squared) at six locations along an optical path. Operating instructions, calibration procedures, and circuit diagrams are included.
