Behavior of the Refractive-Index-Structure Parameter near the Ground*
Abstract
A semiempirical theory is developed which relates the refractive-index-structure parameter Cn2 in the lowest few tens of meters to the vertical gradients of wind speed and temperature and to a stability parameter. This provides an indirect method of determining Cn2, or its temperature counterpart CT2, and the method is successfully applied to recent data which include directly measured CT2 values. The height dependence of the structure parameter is also determined, and the predicted z−4/3 profile under unstable conditions agrees with recent data in the free atmosphere at heights up to 500 m.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
