Abstract:

The comparison of analytical models of vertical profile of the structure parameter of atmospheric refractive index is performed as one of the key points for the development and investigation of the effectiveness of adaptive optics systems. The possibilities of the development of the models are analyzed. The model of atmospheric turbulence profile for the Baikal Astrophysical Observatory is developed.

Keywords:

adaptive optics, atmospheric turbulence, wind velocity, site testing
