The measurement of optical seeing by a resistance analog.
It is shown that the phase fluctuations introduced into a light wave which has propagated through a slab of atmosphere may be determined by measuring the fluctuations in resistance of a wire stretched approximately along the optical path. This technique is applied to measure structure functions of the phase fluctuations across a wavefront by recording fluctuations in the difference between the resistances of two parallel wires.
