Based on residual turbulent scintillation theory, a Mie-scattering lidar method was developed to accurately detect atmospheric turbulence intensity. The method was applied to detect both Kolmogorov and non-Kolmogorov turbulence profiles, and the results were compared with the Hufnagel-Valley model, showing consistent trends.
Turbulence can cause effects such as light intensity fluctuations and phase fluctuations when a laser is transmitted in the atmosphere, which has serious impacts on a number of optical engineering application effects and on climate improvement. Therefore, accurately obtaining real-time turbulence intensity information using lidar-active remote sensing technology is of great significance. In this paper, based on residual turbulent scintillation theory, a Mie-scattering lidar method was developed to detect atmospheric turbulence intensity. By extracting light intensity fluctuation information from a Mie-scattering lidar return signal, the atmospheric refractive index structure constant, C-n(2), representing the atmospheric turbulence intensity, could be obtained. Specifically, the scintillation effect on the detection path was analyzed, and the probability density distribution of the light intensity of the Mie-scattering lidar return signal was studied. It was verified that the probability density of logarithmic light intensity basically follows a normal distribution under weak fluctuation conditions. The C-n(2) profile based on Kolmogorov turbulence theory was retrieved using a layered, iterative method through the scintillation index. The method for detecting Kolmogorov turbulence intensity was applied to the detection of the non-Kolmogorov turbulence intensity. Through detection using the scintillation index, the corresponding (C) over tilde (2)(n) profile could be calculated. The detection of the (C) over tilde (2)(n) and C-n(2) profiles were compared with the Hufnagel-Valley (HV) night model in the Yinchuan area. The results show that the detection results are consistent with the overall change trend of the model. In general, it is feasible to detect a non-Kolmogorov turbulence profile using Mie-scattering lidar.
