Abstract

A wind-profiling system has been developed that uses zero-mean transmitting and receiving filters to shape and analyze the intensity scintillation produced by refractive-index irregularities along the light path. The method is a variation of a technique first proposed by Lee. Two transmitting filters and three pairs of receiving filters are employed, and five of the six combinations are used to form filters in space which are sensitive to refractive-index irregularities, moving across the light path, of a specific spatial wavelength and at a specific location.
