Turbulence Environment Characterization

Abstract

This report contains discussions of a variety of activities and results relative to the characterization of atmospheric turbulence and its effects on optical propagation at the DARPA AMOS Observatory on Maui, Hawaii. Work carried out during this reporting period has included: (1) deployment and testing of new and/or modified instrumentation; (2) routine data collection; (3) special experiments for instrument characterization and calibration, and, (4) theoretical and statistical analysis of the resulting data.
