The revision of the turbulence profiles restoration from MASS scintillation indices
arXiv:1005.4658 · doi:10.1007/s10686-010-9210-5
Abstract
The altitude distribution of optical turbulence is derived from the MASS instrument data by solving an inverse problem. In this paper, some modifications of the profile restoration are described. The principal change is the introduction of the Non Negative Least Squares algorithm which has good regularizing properties. An averaging of scintillation indices was replaced with averaging of obtained solutions what leads to clearer physical results. It is shown that restoration with a number of turbulent layers as large as 14-15 can be successfully performed.
