Abstract:
Some preliminary results from a series of experiments of simultaneous horizontal and vertical acoustic sounding of the atmosphere are described and discussed. The novel horizontal configuration offers some potential for investigating thermal plume motion and characteristics within the boundary layer. It could also be of use in assessing the importance of excess attenuation in quantitative acoustic sounding.
