contents Atmospheric turbulence degrades the performance of free-space optical (FSO) communication and remote sensing systems by introducing phase and intensity distortions. While a majority of research focuses on mitigating these effects to ensure robust signal transmission, an underexplored alternative is to leverage the transformation of structured light to characterize the turbulent medium itself. Here, we introduce a deep learning framework that fuses post-propagation intensity speckle patterns and orbital angular momentum (OAM) spectral data for atmospheric turbulence parameter inference. Our architecture, based on a modified InceptionNet backbone, is optimized to extract and integrate multi-scale features from these distinct optical modalities. This multimodal approach achieves validation accuracies exceeding 80%, substantially outperforming conventional single-modality baselines. The framework demonstrates high inference accuracy and enhanced training stability across a broad range of simulated turbulent conditions, quantified by varying Fried parameters (r0) and Reynolds numbers (Re). This work presents a scalable and data-efficient method for turbulence characterization, offering a pathway toward robust environmental sensing and the optimization of dynamic FSO systems.
