Kurzfassung:
The optical effects of turbulence are directly related to turbulence integral parameters, which are integrals of the refractive index structure constant over a whole path with different path-weighting functions (PWFs). We describe a method that utilizes measurable turbulence integral parameters, such as angle-of-arrival fluctuations and scintillation, to estimate turbulence integral parameters that cannot be measured directly. The estimates of the turbulence integral parameters are based on the linear combination of the PWFs of those measurable quantities. New measurable quantities and their PWFs under different propagation conditions were studied. Some interesting and meaningful results have been obtained. This method shows the prospect of characterizing anisoplanatism in adaptive optics and allows for the estimation of some optical turbulence parameters under non-ideal conditions, such as an isoplanatic angle in a finite distance.
