Investigations of the Micro-Turbulence in the Bottom of the Boundary Layer.

Abstract

Measurements of the microturbulence in the bottom of the atmospheric boundary layer using a two-ended scintillometer system have been performed at two sites in West Germany: more than 500 hours in a hilly area, 180 hours near the coast of the North-Sea. The data are presented as figures: signal as function of time. Keywords: Refractive Index Structure Parameter, Micro turbulence, Atmospheric scintillation, West Germany, Boundary Layer. The signal monitored corresponds to the refractive index structure parameter (Cn2) averaged over the path between a incoherent light source and a signal-receiver. The reported values are proportional to the logarithm of Cn2.
