Abstract: The correlation radii of intensity fluctuations were determined for the propagation of light along short atmospheric paths. The values of the correlation coefficient were determined for the components of the fluctuation spectrum in the 100–400 Hz range. Changes in the correlation radius due to variations in the weather conditions were determined.
