Abstract:
We verified
the feasibility of an alternative solution to generate temperature and pressure profiles
with the U.S. standard atmosphere model (USSA-76). We simultaneously integrated this model with conventional meteorological parameters
measured by a weather station in the course of estimating the refractive index structure constant ( C n 2 ). Moreover, a continuous-time-series
estimation method of the refractive index structure constant was established within the marine atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) based
on wind data obtained from a coherent Doppler wind lidar (CDWL). We also analyzed the optical turbulence characteristics induced by wind
shear during the conducted experiment. Laminated and patchy stratified turbulences, which affect the performance of imaging and light transmission systems, were found within the marine ABL. Additionally,
the relationship between the ABL and all atmospheric optical turbulence factors shows that the ratio of marine ABL in the entire
layer differs from that reported in previous studies. Moreover, the influence of thermal turbulence factors within the marine ABL was less
than that of the entire layer in our case. We report a real-time C n 2 estimation method based on a CDWL.
The characteristics of the marine ABL C n 2 constitute a reference for
optoelectronic applications.
