Abstract Based on the modified spectrum, the analytic expressions for the variance and normalized covariance of angle-of-arrival (AOA) fluctuations are presented, which are applicable to the weak and strong regimes. The experimental data of AOA fluctuations validate the new derived expressions in weak and strong regimes. The results show that the receiving aperture D, outer scale and cell scale larger than the scattering disc S contribute significantly to the AOA fluctuations, and contributions from the small-scale turbulence are negligible. For the case of $4S/D\ll 1$, the receiving aperture dominates low-pass filtering effects and the new displacement variances are in good agreement with the results from the old weak-fluctuation theory. For the case of $4S/D\gg 1$, the scattering disc dominates the low-pass filtering effects and the new displacement variances depart from the results from the old weak-fluctuation theory.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
