Abstract

In this paper a laser method of approximate measurement of instantaneous wind velocity and direction in the atmosphere is considered. It is shown that analysis of spatial realization of atmospheric aerosol backscatter coefficient allows one to find approximate value of instantaneous wind velocity with an accuracy of ~ 20–30% for modulus and ~ 25–30° for direction.
