Zusammenfassung:A Newton-Raphson least squares percentage error method is developed for the determination of atmospheric turbulence field parameters. A correction function is proposed to deemphasize the effects of data points with low statistical confidence. The method is used on various sets of LO-LOCAT data to demonstrate the excellence of the curve fits obtained. Comparisons are made with other curve fits found in the literature. It is recommended that this method be adopted as the standard method for the determination of atmospheric turbulence field parameters. (Author)
