Abstract
The problems of basic and applied research in the area of atmospheric acoustics are elucidated. Main results are reviewed from the theoretical and experimental investigations of audible and infrasonic wave propagation in the atmosphere which were carried out during the last few decades. The role of the acoustic techniques in studying the structure and dynamics of meteorological fields is discussed. The data are given on a practical use of echo sounders (SODARs) and the systems of radio acoustic sounding (RASS) in monitoring the atmospheric boundary layer parameters. Some other practical applications of the acoustic methods in the atmosphere are considered. A number of problems are formulated, whose solution is necessary for a further advancement of atmospheric acoustics and for the use of the acoustic techniques in studying the lower and middle atmosphere.
