Abstract

The estimations of the Fried parameter according to micrometeorological and optical measurements in the atmospheric surface layer in the area of l. Baikal, Baikal astrophysical Observatory (BAO). According to the archive of NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data obtained vertical distribution of temperature pulsations, and revealed the most pronounced atmospheric layers with high turbulence. It is established that the values of the fried parameter at the location of the BAO are in the range from 1.5 to 5.5 cm in inter, the atmospheric coherence radius is characterized by low values of the Fried parameter. Turbulyzed atmospheric layers of the atmosphere located at an altitude of about 2.5 km and 11.5 km above the observatory, respectively. The average values of the fried radius is 4.6 cm.
