Abstract:
A principal possibility is shown for the radioacoustic sounding of the troposphere and lower stratosphere by using low frequency sound as well as decametric electromagnetic waves. The experimental model of the radioacoustic sounding system (RASS) for the above range has been built. It is based on the antenna array consisting of five acoustic monopoles of 41 Hz and the sound power »200 W as well as the radar at the frequency 19 MHz with the antenna gain ~10 and the mean power »100 W. Under the conditions close to still the RASS echosignal exceeds the noise level for the height 1-2 km. The parameter estimation has been carried out for the full-scale RASS which is capable of sounding the lower stratosphere under the condition of wind displacing compensation.
