Abstract

We discuss the SOR Atmospheric Monitor's (SAM's) algorithms for estimating a number of atmospheric parameters from Shack-Hartmann wave front sensor measurements. In addition to the previously reported Fried parameter work, we report on estimates of Greenwood frequency and isoplanatic angle. We also report on a few months of statistics of these parameters at Kirtland AFB.
