There's more relevant data on optical free space time and frequency transfer

Quoting Michael Wouters: "According to this,

there are many practical challenges with a one way free-space optical link."
That paper indicates that one way transfer with noise of a few picosec should
be feasible using an IR laser. Especially if only required at night for
synchronisation of the timebases of the various telescope/detectors in a
stellar intensity interferometer.
Atmospheric scintillation should be lower as well as background noise from the
sky, sun etc. The other factors like rain, hail, snow, fog etc aren't an issue
as these preclude observation of the stars of interest.
