Correction to "Atmospheric Phase Screen in Ground-Based Radar: Statistics and Compensation"

In the above-named article [ibid., vol. 8, no. 3, pp. 537-541, May 2011], an error in equation (4) appears. In it, the value 0.2589 is corrected to 77.6. The error concerns only the transcription of (4), and not the results presented in the letter, where the proper formulation was indeed used. The authors would like to thank the reviewer who helped correct this.
