Abstract: In this paper,experimental results of intensity fluctua-tion(scintillation) and dancing(angle-of-arrival fluctuation and isoplanatic angle)of laser beam at Dawanshan Islands are reported.The results are comparied with the data of turbulent intensity measu-red simulteneously.It is indicated that the turbulence in marine atmosphere of the South China Sea during late autumn and early winter is rather violent,and it's effect on laser propagation is remarkable.
