Estimates of Cn² in the open ocean from the MREP 20 Sea Trial

Abstract

Using data from the MREP 20 sea trial I evaluate the index of refraction based on temperature and salinity measurements. The index of refraction structure function is estimated pointwise between measurements at 0.5 increments and the structure constant found to be between 10 to the -16 to -13 with units of meters to the -13/6.
