Abstract
Possible deviations of a laser beam from a detector in the case of slant propagation paths are calculated based on air temperature profiles measured in the atmospheric boundary layer. The possible seasonal and diurnal dynamics of the deviations under regular refraction is considered. The cases of simultaneous strong (regular) refraction and significant broadening of a laser beam due to the turbulence effect are revealed and analyzed.
