  • Analysis and modeling of Atmospheric Turbulence on the high-resolution space optical systems
    8th International Symposium on Advanced Optical Manufacturing and Testing Technologies: Optical Test Measurement Technology and Equipment, 2016
    Co-Authors: Jiang Lili, Xiaomei Chen
    Abstract:

    Modeling and simulation of optical remote sensing system plays an unslightable role in remote sensing mission predictions, imaging system design, image quality assessment. It has already become a hot research topic at home and abroad. Atmospheric Turbulence influence on optical systems is attached more and more importance to as technologies of remote sensing are developed. In order to study the influence of Atmospheric Turbulence on earth observation system, the Atmospheric structure parameter was calculated by using the weak Atmospheric Turbulence model; and the relationship of the Atmospheric coherence length and high resolution remote sensing optical system was established; then the influence of Atmospheric Turbulence on the coefficient r0h of optical remote sensing system of ground resolution was derived; finally different orbit height of high resolution optical system imaging quality affected by Atmospheric Turbulence was analyzed. Results show that the influence of Atmospheric Turbulence on the high resolution remote sensing optical system, the resolution of which has reached sub meter level meter or even the 0.5m, 0.35m and even 0.15m ultra in recent years, image quality will be quite serious. In the above situation, the influence of the Atmospheric Turbulence must be corrected. Simulation algorithms of PSF are presented based on the above results. Experiment and analytical results are posted.

  • Atmospheric Turbulence component of the innovation covariance
    Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2008
    Co-Authors: Rod Frehlich
    Abstract:

    The innovation covariance is derived for general Atmospheric Turbulence conditions and for climatologies of upper-level Turbulence based on aircraft data. Error is defined in terms of the effective spatial filter of the forecast model to produce a consistent definition of measurement error and model error. Calculations of the Atmospheric Turbulence component (observation sampling-error covariance) are performed for rawinsonde data and various forecast model resolutions. Significant contributions from the Atmospheric Turbulence field are produced, especially for the older forecast models. Copyright © 2008 Royal Meteorological Society

  • Measurements of the Atmospheric Turbulence spectrum and intermittency using laser scintillation
    Propagation Engineering: Fourth in a Series, 1991
    Co-Authors: Rod Frehlich
    Abstract:

    Simultaneous measurements of the spatial intensity covariance of laser scintillation and the variance of integrated intensity collected by multiple circular apertures provide sufficient information to determine the form of the Atmospheric Turbulence spectrum over short spatial and temporal scales. This ensures local stationary of the Turbulence. The estimated parameters of the Turbulence spectrum (level of Turbulence C2n and inner scale) over these stationary events provide accurate estimates of the intermittency of Atmospheric Turbulence. The advantages of laser scintillation measurements include spatial averaging that improves statistical accuracy, true measurements of spatial statistics without the need to convert temporal statistics to spatial using Taylor's hypothesis, remote sensing of Atmospheric Turbulence which reduces contamination by support structures, and rugged instrumentation for reliable measurements. New uses of laser scintillation measurements will be discussed.© (1991) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

  • Atmospheric Turbulence and Solar Diameter Measurement
    Lecture Notes in Physics, 2003
    Co-Authors: Abdanour Irbah, Julien Borgnino, Abd-errezak Bouzid, Lyes Lakhal, Nassim Seghouani, Christian Delmas, Francis Laclare
    Abstract:

    Object images obtained by mean of ground based instrument are degraded by the earth atmosphere. Indeed, the wave-front at the entrance of the instrument pupil, present phase and amplitude random fluctuations depending of the time, the position and the line of sight. The recorded images are consequently filtered leading to bad measurements of the studied object parameters. To qualify the Atmospheric degradations, several parameters are commonly defined. For solar diameter measurements performed with an astrolabe, errors due to the Atmospheric Turbulence are directly related to these parameters. After, a brief recall of the basic properties of the Atmospheric Turbulence, a method allowing to generate realistic random wave-fronts will be presented. They will be used to study errors on diameter measurements performed with a solar astrolabe. The obtained results will clearly show the necessity to have a seeing monitor observing together with the solar experiment. A method allowing to obtain the observation conditions for solar observation will then be given.

  • Simulation of Atmospheric Turbulence layers with phase screens by JAVA
    Optical Design and Testing III, 2007
    Co-Authors: Xiaofang Zhang, Wenqin Chen, Jixiang Yan
    Abstract:

    In multiconjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO), the phase screens are used to simulate Atmospheric Turbulence layers to study the optimal Turbulence delamination and the determination of layer boundary position. In this paper, the method of power spectrum inversion and sub-harmonic compensation were used to simulate Atmospheric Turbulence layers and results can be shown by grey map. The simulation results showed that, with the increase of Turbulence layers, the RMS of adaptive system decreased, but the amplitude diminished. So the Atmospheric Turbulence can be split into 2-3 layers and be modeled by phase screens. Otherwise, a small simulation Atmospheric Turbulence delamination system was realized by JAVA.

  • Influences of Atmospheric Turbulence on image resolution of optical remote sensing system
    Adaptive Optics and Applications III, 2004
    Co-Authors: Xiaofang Zhang, Jixiang Yan
    Abstract:

    The influences of Atmospheric Turbulence on image resolution of space-borne optical remote sensing system are discussed. The coherence length of wavefront r0 and the variance of angle-of-arrival fluctuation σ2α of sensing system are the main basis to evaluate the Atmospheric influence on image resolution. In this paper, different Atmospheric Turbulence models are chose to calculate r0 and σ2α in order to analyze the influence of Atmospheric Turbulence, and the results show that the influence of Atmospheric Turbulence should be weak and in most cases could be ignored for space-borne optical sensing system.
