The present work is devoted to experimental studies of transformation of short laser pulses after their interaction with the atmosphere in winter-spring season. The pulses were generated by a copper bromide vapor laser. Optical signals reflected from a fixed scattering volume were registered by and received directly on a digital oscilloscope capable of their averaging. In this work, data on the correlation of pulse amplitudes with the atmospheric state and pulse shape and duration are presented.
