| Popis: | The measurement of the strength and veloc- ity of atmospheric optical turbulence using a generalised SCIDAR technique is outlined and demonstrated. This method allows the full turbulent prole to be characterised from the telescope pupil up to any desired altitude. A number of example proles from various astronomical ob- serving sites are presented. |
