Modelling end Measurement of Atmospheric Turbulence over Land
Abstract
We present a simple model for the structure constant of atmospheric refractive index fluctuations and inner scale valid in the lowest few hundred meters above land. The inputs to the model era standard meteorological parameters plus solar irradiance and parameters characteristic of the local terrain. Results are compared with measurements of refractive index fluctuations and inner scale made with a displaced-beam scintillometer. The results show that the model can predict atmospheric turbulence with good accuracy during daytime.
