Abstract

The one-dimensional point spread function for long-exposure frames of the whole system atmosphere - instrument is calculated from solar limb observations using data recorded at OCA Observatory (France). It is then compared to the theoretical one deduced from the Von Karman model and various wave-front structure functions. Good agreement is found allowing to deduce the spatial coherence outer scale L₀ and the Fried parameter r₀.
