Description:Eddy correlation is a general term applied to the technique of wind measurement which relies on the observation of the time of passage of recognizable atmospheric features past two points with a known distance between them. The recognizable feature must be inhomogeneities of the atmosphere - temperature, density or aerosol fluctuations, for example: the technique may be passive, as in the observation of the passage of temperature inhomogeneities by infrared radiometers, or active, as in the case of the observation by radio reflections from ionospheric features. In this report, we are concerned with the use of laser illuminators which reflect from aerosol inhomogeneities and measure their time of passage over a known distance. This configuration is also called transit time lidar.
