Abstract

Using a three-aperture scintillometer system (TASS) to measure irradiance fluctuations along a slant path, it is possible to create a C n2 profile model as a function of altitude up to (and possibly beyond) the maximum altitude of a laser beam along the propagation slant path. This technique was demonstrated recently in June 2011 on a beacon beam transmitted between Hollister Airport in California and Fremont Peak at a slant range of 17 km. Although the primary experiment was to test a hybrid optical RF communication system (FOENEX), the beacon signal at the transmitter was intercepted by the TASS from which weighted path-average values of C n2, inner scale l0, and outer scale L0 were determined. Path-average values were then entered into an algorithm that determines the parameters of the HAP C n2profile model (a variation of the HV profile model). In this paper we report on these recent measurements and how this method of constructing the HAP model can be used over other propagation paths. © 2012 SPIE.
