Abstract
The results of wind measurements in the low 500 m air layer above Moscow by Doppler sodar ‘MODOS’ have been presented for period from 2004 to 2008. General features of both annual course and the diurnal one of wind profiles have been discussed. The most wind speed values are observed in average in autumn and in winter, the least ones - in spring and in summer. The most frequent wind direction is south-western; the rarest one is northern. The crossover height of wind profiles has been analyzed. As it was found it consists of 60-80 m in average in warm period.For the first time, mean values of wind turning during passing of atmospheric fronts have been received and studied by sodar data. It was found that right-hand (clockwise) turning of wind at cold fronts is more and occurs more quickly in time in the comparison with warm fronts. The occlusion fronts demonstrate intermediate mean values of wind turning.
