Airborne measurement of atmospheric turbulenceA system capable of making measurements of fluctuating atmospheric density is described. Spatial scales required in assessing the quality of coherent radiation propagation are discussed. The special sensors, aircraft installation, data reduction procedures, and other special requirements necessary to obtain meaningful atmospheric turbulence data are also described. The spectral distribution of density fluctuation are presented.
