Optical-scintillation method of measuring turbulence inner scale.
An optical technique is described that uses coherent and incoherent optical scintillation to measure the path-averaged value of the turbulence inner scale. The technique is verified by comparison with an in situ measurement, and inner scale values obtained 1.5 m above the ground over a 24-h period are shown.
