“…Gamak is an SLR(Satellite Laser Ranging) system base in South Korea aimed at performing key space missions such as satellite tracking, space object distance measurement, space-to-ground communication, and adaptive optics. [1] However, the Geochang station has never operated atmospheric characterization instruments such as DIMM(Differential Image Motion Monitor) [2], SLODAR [3][4][5][6][7][8][9], or SCIDAR(SCIntillation Detection And Ranging) [10], making it difficult for theoretical performance evaluation and limitation analysis of space mission technologies. Kongju National University installed SLODAR, which uses a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor to observe binary stars and perform turbulence profiling, in Geochang station in April 2023.…”

Atmospheric turbulence reduces the image quality and resolution of ground-based optical telescopes. Future large solar telescopes (e.g. the CGST, China Giant Solar Telescope) should be equipped with adaptive optics (AO) systems. The design of AO systems is associated with atmospheric optical turbulence parameters, especially the profile of the refractive index structure $C_{n}^{2}(h)$. With the solar differential image motion monitor (S-DIMM) and the profiler of the moon limb (PML), a simplified version of a PML, termed a profiler of the differential solar limb (PDSL), was built in order to determine the daytime $C_{n}^{2}(h)$ and other atmospheric turbulence parameters. A PDSL with differential solar limb fluctuations was used to determine the turbulence profiling, and the extended solar limb extends the range of separation angles for a higher resolution of the height profile. The PDSL structure and its performance are described. In addition, numerical simulations were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the method. As revealed from the simulation results, the layered integral coefficient matrix is capable of solving the discretization error and enhancing the inversion accuracy of the turbulence contour. The first test results at Mt Wumingshan (a candidate site for the CGST) are presented.
