Abstract:

The longitudinal structure functions of the wind velocity field for the atmospheric boundary layer are calculated from the Doppler sodar measurements of the vertical profiles of the wind velocity vector. It is demonstrated that the wind velocity field may be highly inhomogeneous in the horizontal plane. The procedure for the acoustic sounding data processing described in the paper is capable of visualization of large-scale inhomogeneities of the wind velocity field in the atmosphere for separation distances up to 3 km.
