Effect of underlying terrain on jitter of astronomic images

摘要

In this paper we undertake an attempt to take into account the effect of the underlying terrain (including mountainous terrain) in the regions of location of astronomical receivers on the variance of the image jitter for extraterrestrial objects. It is shown that taking into account the underlying terrain-it is possible to achieve a good agreement between theoretical and experimental data that deviate significantly from the well-know theoretical secant law.
