Paper Abstract
In December 2006, a 17-day propagation field experiment was conducted on a near-sea-surface 7.07 kilometer
path over the Pacific Ocean outside San Diego Bay. This test offered an opportunity to compare the results from
incoherent optical instruments with propagated 1.064 micron laser radiation on the same path. The comparison
includes both the turbulence effects on the beam, and the extinction of the beam by aerosol particles and
molecules. We also comment on the optical configuration of the laser test which prevented accurate measurement
of some of the important transmission and scintillation effects.
