Funding Information:
Here, we provide an overview of a five-year multidisciplinary collaborative research project, Quantifying and Understanding Environmental Turbulence Affecting Lasers (QueTal), sponsored by the US Joint Directed Energy Transition Office (DE-JTO) under its Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MRI). The ultimate goal of QueTal is to improve the capability of mesoscale models in predicting the optical scintillation environment. To that end, QueTal intends to collect a large number of dataset in different atmospheric forcing conditions for testing and validating theories and empirical formulations relevant to optical turbulence and to understand the nature of atmospheric turbulence effect on optical propagation. Eventually, QueTal intends to form an optical turbulence parameterization relating the macroscopic atmospheric parameters, such as mean wind, temperature, humidity, and surface temperature, to optical turbulence. We achieve these objectives through several field campaigns over land and sea and by using state-of-the-art numerical simulations based on a large eddy simulation (LES) modeling approach. This summary intends to give an overview of the QueTal project.
