Abstract
In February 2005 a joint atmospheric propagation experiment was conducted between the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation and the University of Central Florida. A Gaussian beam was propagated along a horizontal
path near the ground. Scintillation was measured simultaneously at three receivers of diameters 1, 5, and
. Scintillation theory combined with a numerical scheme was used to infer the structure constant
, the inner scale
, and the outer scale
from the optical measurements. At the same time,
measurements were taken by a commercial scintillometer, set up parallel to the optical path. The
values from the inferred scheme and the commercial scintillometer predict the same behavior, but the inferred scheme consistently gives slightly smaller
values.
