Abstract
THE development of high power maser sources at 10.6 microns1 has made possible an investigation of the characteristics of propagation through the atmosphere at this wavelength. Our investigations were conducted over the same 2.6 km path in Holmdel, New Jersey, which was used at shorter wavelengths by T. S. Chu and D. C. Hogg2.
