Reproducing the fine-scale layered structure of the stratosphere and lower thermosphere by means of infrasound remote sensing
A technique for the infrasound remote sensing of the atmosphere is proposed. The technique is based on the phenomenon of acoustic pulse scattering by layered inhomogeneities of wind velocity and atmospheric temperature up to heights in the lower thermosphere on the order of 140 km. Vertical profiles of wind velocity fluctuations are reproduced for heights in the upper stratosphere and lower thermosphere (90–140 km) that are less accessible when using other methods for remote sensing of the atmosphere.
