Scientific paper

Using an array of solar scintillometers (Seykora 1993; Beckers and Mason 1998), I characterize the shadow band patterns as seen from the un-eclipsed sun. The spatial and temporal structure of these patterns provide a measure of the optical turbulence in the earth' atmosphere from which the r_0 (Fried Parameter), Θ_0 (isoplanatic patch diameter) and τ_0 (coherence time) can be estimated.
