Two receiver channels (BSA) lidar for estimation of the strength of refractive turbulence Ratio of the mean powers of echo signals in the channels determines the coefficient of backscatter amplification depending on the turbulence strength
Experiment Scheme of the experiment Comparison of temporal variations of the amplification coefficient N and variance of the optical image jitter registered on a probing path . The variance is proportional to the integral value of the Cn 2 on a probing path.
Cn 2 measured by sonic meteostations 1617 June 2017. Path 2 km. Amplification coefficient N measured by BSA lidar simultaneously with the sonic meteostations. Cn 2 measured by the optical measurer (orange) and sonic meteostations (green and blue). Amplification coefficient (black).

Conclusions • Mean power of the echo signal of a coherent lidar can increase in a turbulent atmosphere because of the effect of backscatter amplification in random media • On surface paths temporal variations of SNR of a coherent lidar follow to temporal variations of the structure constant of turbulent fluctuations of the air refractive index with high correlation in the most part
