High speed time-resolved wavefront and imaging measurements were taken synchronously in-flight through the boundary layer and the shear layer environments around the Airborne Aero-Optical Laboratory for Beam Control (AAOL-BC). Instantaneous point spread functions were generated using wavefront data which enabled a relationship between largescale structures present in turbulent flows and resultant instantaneous image degradation to be identified. In this manner, image blurring patterns can be related to specific flow structures which begins to abridge the knowledge gap between treating quantitative wavefront properties and the resultant blurred images.
