An autodyne cw YAG:Nd3+-laser Doppler anemometer was studied experimentally. The results obtained are reported. The feasibility of remote sensing of aerosol microphysical parameters, such as aerosol particle velocity, acceleration, size, scattering cross-section, and number density, by means of the proposed system is shown.
