Abstract
Possible displacements of laser beams under the effect of regular refraction in the atmospheric boundary layer are calculated. The case of a radiation source installed at the surface level is considered. Displacements are estimated for different wavelengths and angles of the beam entrance into the atmosphere. The calculations are based on experimental data on the refractive index of optical waves up to an altitude of 1000 m received in long-term (one year) measurements of the vertical profiles of air temperature with a MTP-5 meteorological temperature profiler.
