Abstract:A rigorous treatment is given to a spatial filtering method for remotely determining the transverse wind velocity and the atmospheric structure constant along a line‐of‐sight path, assuming a Kolmogorov spectrum of refractivity and weak scattering. The results are applicable from the millimeter‐wave range to the optical range for linear array configurations at either one end or both ends of the path. Various methods of signal detection are considered, such as coherent, quasi‐coherent (knowledge of relative pha… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
