Reconstruction of the wind velocity profile from the intensity fluctuations of a reflected spherical wave in the turbulent atmosphere

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

The problem of reconstructing the wind velocity profile from the spatiotemporal statistics of turbulent reflected optical radiation intensity fluctuations is considered in the article. Expressions for the spatiotemporal correlation function and the spectrum of weak intensity fluctuations of the wave scattered on a diffusive screen are derived. An algorithm for reconstructing the wind velocity profile from the spatiotemporal spectra of the intensity of a reflected spherical wave in the turbulent atmosphere is suggested. The results of closed numerical experiments are presented that confirm the efficiency of the suggested algorithm.
