In the top graph: (i) the dashed line – the reconstructed variances, 〈b²〉, for a simulated telemetry sample; (ii) the dotted line – the theoretical von Karman variances of the phase screen turbulence parameters; and (iii) the solid line – the corrected variances. In the bottom graph: the weight factors, , obtained from the variance of each radial order of the reconstructed variances presented in the preceding graph.
