Characteristic analysis of atmospheric turbulence from inland to ocean

Random fluctuation of turbulence brings random fluctuation of refractive index, which makes atmosphere become a random fluctuation medium and destroys the coherence of light wave especially laser transferring in it. Exploration of atmospheric turbulence is essentially investigation of atmospheric refractive index. The atmospheric structure constant of refractive index is a basic parameter of expressing atmospheric turbulence, and is measured using HTP-2 micro-thermal meter at different areas from inland to ocean. It is analysed that the relation of atmospheric structure constant of refractive index with corresponding temperature and wind speed. The conclusion of developing law of turbulence and main influencing factors is to deepen the research in atmospheric optical transmission, and to provide data support for the siting of ship board photoelectric systems.
