It is well known that the turbulent state of the atmosphere gives rise to fluctuations of the coefficient of light refraction. In astrometric observations these fluctuations produce the phenomenon of image motion which serves as the source of accidental errors of observations. The need for the study of the effect of atmospheric turbulence is documented in (G.Teleki, 1967) and others.
