On backward scattering of acoustic waves in a turbulent atmosphere and intensity of SODAR echo-signals

The backscattering of acoustic waves in the atmosphere has been studied with an absolutely calibrated sodar and a measuring complex at a 300-m meteorological mast (HMM). It has been shown that the backward differential cross-section of the atmosphere and excess attenuation of sound are by an order o...
