title: Optical remote sensing of atmospheric turbulence: a comparison with simultaneous thermal measurements.
abstract: In this paper we describe a two-part experiment: measuring atmospheric turbulence both optically and thermally from 2 km up to the stratosphere. The consistency of the results shows that the optical technique may be a powerful tool for studying atmospheric turbulence from ground-based equipment.
