Abstract

Measurements of intensity fluctuations of laser radiation after a 1800 m path through the atmospheric turbulence over the city of Florence are made. The path connects the tops of two buildings one of which is on a hill. The altitude varies considerably along the path. These measurements are made with a double purpose; the first purpose is to characterize the real situations which are encountered in practice when the measurements are not made in special locations, such as the desert or the steppes or the laboratory. The second purpose is to investigate whether the results can be intepreted by means of the existing theoretical distributions valid for homogeneous turbulence, or if they require new theoretical efforts.
