Abstract

Meteorological measurements within the atmospheric surface layer are often carried outusing sensors that detect the properties of the atmosphere at a given point (point meas urements). However, it is not possible to make statements about the horizontal distribution of the measured quantities on the basis of such measurements. For this purpose, acoustic travel time tomography could be applied. This ground-based remote sensing method is capable of providing two-dimensional distributions of wind and temperature (Raabe et al., 2001). Since the atmospheric region where acoustic tomographic measurements take place is significantly influenced by turbulent processes, it is important to know to what extent the acoustic system is able to resolve turbulent structures.
