Abstract
Recent measured results for long baselines are compared with theoretical predictions of interferometer phase fluctuations. The measured values, from the Green Bank observatory in West Virginia, are somewhat smaller than predicted from refractivity spectra data gathered earlier in Colorado. The affects of different lengths and observation times are predicted quite well. It is particularly significant that theory based on the "frozen turbulence" model is so successful in predicting fluctuations over an 11-km baseline.
