Scientific paper

This report summarizes the proceedings, conclusions and recommendations of a two-day workshop (30-31 Jan. 1979) on refractive index structure parameter, Cn(2), in the marine planetary boundary layer (MPBL). Scaling laws are described that are adequate to predict Cn(2) in the surface layer to an accuracy of approximately a factor of two. A stepwise procedure is described to predict Cn(2) using these scaling steps. No generally accepted quantitative scaling laws exist in the upper MPBL. Simple second-moment turbulence models hold the best promise for Cn(2) prediction in the upper MPBL at this time. After verification these models can be used by themselves or to generate upper MPBL scaling laws.
