Scientific paper

This paper discusses the mechanism of the radiation-wavefront distortion that arises at the boundary between layers of air inside and outside the tower of a large telescope. When wind acts at the boundary, a boundary layer develops. Random shifts in the arrival angle as well as in the mean refraction angle are determined by the mean difference in the air temperature in the tower and the free atmosphere.
