Abstract:
Optical communication between ground stations and orbiting satellites or space vehicles will be influenced by the properties of the intervening atmosphere any change in signal waveform introduced by the atmosphere can be regarded as sky noise. An extensive literature survey was undertaken to determine the magnitude and wavelength dependence of the various noise contributions. An experimental program revealed some aspects of scintillation.
