Evaluation of r0 for propagation down through the atmosphere: correction

D. L. Fried Optical Science Consultants, P.O. Box 388, Yorba Linda, California 92686. Received 5 December 1974. Equation (12) in the paper1 is in error in showing the

λ-dependence as (λ/5.5 × 10–7)3 /5 , when the exponent should be 6

5. The correct form of this equation is

(γo)median = 0.114(λ/5.5 × 10–7)6/5(sec0)–3/5. (12)

Reference 1. D. L. Fried and G. E. Mevers, Appl. Opt. 13, 2620 (1974).
