Abstract

The spectral properties of the intensity of a light beam, propagated in a turbulent atmosphere in the presence of wind shears, are studied. The theory of light propagation in a turbulent media is presented. Special attention is given to developing the theoretical characteristics of a spherical wave. These theoretical relations are numerically analyzed. The analysis indicate that the problem of remotely measuring winds can be automated. Several machine techniques are offered to accomplish this task.
