Cn2 Profiling

Cn2 Profiling is the systematic measurement and vertical characterization of the refractive index structure constant (Cn²) in the atmosphere, distinguishing itself through its focus on quantifying turbulence-induced optical fluctuations across altitude layers for astronomical and optical propagation applications.
