Descripción
The possibility of using high-data-rate optical transmitters for
satellite communication has generated interest in laser communication
systems for ground-to-space and space-to-ground data links. Among the
parameters useful to model propagation along a vertical path are the
refractive index structure constant Cn2 profile
and boundary layer turbulent strength. One of the most widely used
turbulent models is the Hufnagel-Valley (HV) which depend on vertical
wind profile and integrated turbulence along the propagation path. We
have developed a statistical studied of the input parameters above
Canary Island Observatories using a metereological database to collect
the wind profiles and DIMM database to evaluate zero order moment. We
are estimated the isoplanatic angle and the down-link scintillation. To
check the consistency of the model, we are compared the isoplanatic
results with isoplanatic angle measured by SCIDAR campaigns (17 nights
along the year). To establish the average turbulence wind speed, we are
used an observational correlation finds by Sarazin at other high
mountain observatories.
