Acoustic tomography as a remote sensing method to investigate the near-surface atmospheric boundary layer in comparison with in situ measurements

摘要

The acoustic tomography method is applied in the atmospheric surface layer to observer near-surface tem- perature fields. Important advantages of this technique are the remote sensing capacity and the possibility of directly deriving area-average meteorological quantities. Combined observations of the air temperature using an acoustic tomography system and point measurements Were carried out to validate the tomographic method. Results were used to compare representativeness for a Designated area of direct measurements with the tomographic solution.
