Abstract:
The present disclosure describes methods and systems for measuring crosswind speed by optical measurement of laser scintillation. One method includes projecting radiation into a medium, receiving, over time, with a photodetector receiver, a plurality of scintillation patterns of scattered radiation, comparing cumulative a radiation intensity for each received scintillation pattern of the received plurality of scintillation patterns, and measuring a cumulative weighted average cross-movement within the medium using the compared cumulative radiation intensities.

Claim (Index 11):
A device for optically measuring a cross-movement profile within a medium to a target, comprising:\n a plurality of receivers spaced apart at a particular distance, each receiver adapted to receive, over time, a plurality of snapshots of a moving scintillation pattern of modulated scattered radiation from a substantially common direction, the movement of the scintillation pattern due to temperature gradients in a medium; and the device adapted to compare intensities of the received moving scintillation pattern snapshots from each receiver and to measure a cross-movement profile within the medium, the measurement of the cross-movement profile a function of the particular spacing between, and a size of, each of the plurality of receivers.
