Abstract
An acoustic echo system transmitter and receivers for measuring signal scattering at a zone resulting from wind movement, with the receiver doppler outputs averaged to provide spectra of wind velocity. Method and apparatus for calculating the second moment of the spectra which corresponds to gust velocities in the zone.
