Claim 0:
1. An atmospheric characterization system, comprising:
a central processing board comprising a processor, memory operably connected to the processor, a first communication interface operably connected to the processor and a second communication interface operably connected to the processor;
a first precision temperature sensor communicatively coupled to the central processing board via the first communication interface, the first precision temperature sensor configured to generate first data indicative of a first temperature measured by the first precision temperature sensor associated with a first time and transmit the first data to the central processing board; and
a second precision temperature sensor communicatively coupled to the central processing board via the second communication interface and positioned such that there is a distance, r, between the first precision temperature sensor and the second precision temperature sensor, the second precision temperature sensor configured to generate second data indicative of a second temperature measured by the second precision temperature sensor associated with the first time and transmit the second data to the central processing board,
wherein the memory comprises processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor perform the steps of:
receiving the first data indicative of the first temperature;
receiving the second data indicative of the second temperature; and
calculating a value indicative of atmospheric turbulence associated with the first time based upon the first data indicative of the first temperature, the second data indicative of the second temperature, and the distance, r.
