Research, Design and Development Study to Measure Atmospheric Optical Turbulence.

Abstract

This report describes work performed in support of the AFGL program to study atmospheric turbulence and obtain the Atmospheric Optical Structure Constant, C cub N squared. Data is obtained from a thermosonde unit and a radiosonde unit carried aloft by small weather balloons. Improvements in the thermosonde unit and modifications to the radiosonde unit are described.
