Özet

Atmospheric turbulence, one of the important parameters affecting the performance of electro-optical surveillance systems, is a measure of the refractive index of the atmosphere. Therefore, measuring or predicting atmospheric turbulence is important for estimating the impact of atmospheric turbulence induced disturbances. In order to determine the correlation between atmospheric turbulence measurements and atmospheric turbulence predictions, meteorological parameters were collected in January, April, July and October in 4 different seasons of 2023 in the Marmara region and turbulence predictions were made with the help of atmospheric turbulence prediction model and atmospheric turbulence measurements were made at the same location and the results were compared. DRI analyses for the electro-optical sensor were performed with the help of NVIPM software in order to examine the effect of predicted atmospheric turbulence values and measured atmospheric turbulence values on the performance of an electro-optical sensor. According to the DRI analysis results, the performance losses caused by the estimated atmospheric turbulence values overlap with the performance losses caused by the measured atmospheric turbulence values.
