The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is developing and extending a model of the boundary layer that takes, as input, common atmospheric measurements and ground condition parameters, and predicts key parameters of optical turbulence such as streng

A recent measurement campaign at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. involved taking simultaneous observations with a VHF radar and high-data-rate (1-micron diameter) platinum wires to sense optical turbulence (from temperature fluctuations). The radar

Balloons, similar to those used for meteorological observations, are commonly used to carry a small instrumentation package for measuring optical turbulence in the atmosphere as a function of altitude. Two temperature sensors, one meter apart, measur

New results of the (temperature) refractive index structure parameter (CT2), Cn2 are presented from fast response sensor observations near the ground and also using a kite/tethered blimp platform and an aircraft, at the Edward Air Force Base in Mojav

Understanding the turbulence along a propagation path is required to evaluate new methods for tracking, pointing, and compensation of laser beams, studying image degradation, and interpreting remote sensing observations. This paper presents observati

This paper present new methodology to address critical refractivity turbulence issues for laser propagation using a new measurement system-a portable balloon-ring platform with multiple fine wire sensors at several separations. All raw data is transm

Other fluid dynamic phenomena, in addition to isotropic turbulence, can produce index of refraction fluctuations within the atmosphere. The stratified conditions in the upper atmosphere lead to phenomena such as thin shear layers of the order of a fe

We discuss aspects of the development of the Airborne Laser Laboratory. Our discussion is historical in nature and consists of the text from a speech given on the occasion of the Airborne Laser Laboratory leaving Kirtland Air Force Base (AFB) to fly

A joint radar/aircraft optical turbulence measurement is discussed. The joint measurement was made over White Sands, New Mexico with a KC135E aircraft equipped with fiber film temperature probes and a ground-based atmospheric profiler. General meteor
