The measurements were made from a ship, a tethered kite and two C-135 aircraft. Measured values of C(n) squared from the surface to levels above the marine inversion were related to the synoptic weather situation. C(n) squared values were observed to be maximum in the inversion. Near surface C(n) squared values, measured from two levels on the ship, exhibited expected diurnal changes. Overall, C(n) squared values measured optically (scintillation) and meteorologically (from C(T) squared measurements) compared satisfactorily. C(n) squared profiles estimated from surface observed values using a z to the -413 power assumed distribution appeared to define the mean measured profile. 收起
