Temporal properties of Zernike modes are investigated for the case of light wave propagation through the non-Kolmogorov turbulence. The calculations are performed for the weak-turbulence conditions with constant turbulence parameters along the propagation path and taking into account the effects of the outer and inner scale of the turbulence. It is shown that the difference between effects produced by the Kolmogorov and non-Kolmogorov turbulence is getting smaller when the aberration order is growing up and when the outer scale magnitude is decreasing. Also it is shown that the correlation time of an aberration is decreasing with increasing of its order and with decreasing of spectral index.
