Abstract
Experiments were conducted at the TISTEF laser range to evaluate the atmospheric turbulence data of several instruments. A Scintec BLS900, BLS2000, SLS20, MZA DELTA, and an Applied Technologies SATI-3A sonic anemometer were deployed on the 1 kilometer range and recorded measurements over a multi-day period. The data was then processed to compare the calculated refractive index structure parameter (C2n ) between the instruments. The BLS2000 and DELTA were also deployed to record turbulence measurements along a 13.5 kilometer slant path from the TISTEF site to the Vehicle Assembly Building roof on Kennedy Space Center property for additional evaluation.
