title: Finite temporal measurements of the statistical characteristics of the atmospheric coherence length.
abstract: Based on the theory of stationary random processes, the probability density function of the atmospheric coherence length measured in a finite time period is derived analytically and verified experimentally. An iteration method is proposed to obtain Fried's coherence length within a finite time measurement.
