We are starting a new project on modeling the effects of turbulence on optics through the atmospheric boundary layer. We using LES and atmospheric observations to improve and quantify the uncertainty in power surges and fades, spatial incoherence, and beam wander. The project is in collaboration with Dr. Eddie Jacobs in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Funding is through our partners at the University of Central Florida and the Army Research Lab.
