Abstract
This paper presents analysis of spatial and temporal changes in the wavefront of a laser beam to short horizontal distances at low altitude and laboratory scale. The atmosphere through optical propagation path is subjected to varying conditions of humidity and temperature independently controlled. Experimental results were conducted in GOTS-UIS-Colombia compared with those obtained by numerical simulations, developed in FAU-USA.
