Abstract

The data of turbulence profile lidar are analyzed by Zernike modal wavefront reconstruction algorithm and differential image motion monitor. Then, the atmosphere coherence length calculated via these two methods is analyzed. The result shows the precision of atmosphere coherence length obtained by a3 variance of Zernike modal wavefront reconstruction is higher than others.
