We have investigated the role of atmospheric turbulence on computational ghost imaging using random light and the discrete cosine transform function. We have shown both numerically and experimentally that employing spatial-light-modulator-based emulated turbulence degrades the ghost image quality using both types of intensity distributions. However, by employing sequenced selective mode structures, we demonstrated that the structural similarity of ghost images produced with a specific mode-order sequencing protocol consistently outperforms that of ghost images produced with random intensity distributions across all levels of simulated atmospheric turbulence. These results will open methods to improve computational ghost imaging capabilities.
