Abstract
THE range and sensitivity of turbulence detection by acoustic probing of the lower atmosphere initiated by McAllister et al.1 has in part been restricted by the use of low power acoustic pulses (generally ∼ 100 W). We shall briefly describe a pulsed high power (8.1 kW input) sound radar system and present representative data obtained with a 2.7 kW system.
