  • Abstract
    Measurements of the square of the structure constant of the atmospheric refractive index averaged over a 25-km propagation path are presented. The daily behavior of this parameter Cn2for 4 days in July, 1969, are shown. The measured values are in the range from 0.5 to 4×10-17cm-2/3.
