Abstract
Details are given of an atmospheric acoustic sounder which can be used in both a rural area and a noisy town environment. The instrument has been used for the measurement of various parameters of the turbulent boundary layer including the temperature and velocity structure parameters CT2 and Cv2 as well as vertical wind speeds. A summary of some of the results obtained using this instrument is presented.Keywords
