Abstract:

Possibilities of retrieving the vertical profiles of atmospheric turbulence from measurements of local wavefront slopes are discussed. The estimates of characteristics of amplitudes of the wavefront distortions for different atmospheric altitudes are given. The height of atmospheric layer when maximum angles of light arrival correspond to mean image jitter from total atmosphere is found.

Keywords:

optical turbulence, wavefront, astronomical telescope
