Date Sep. 30, 1993.A system and method for the detection and measurement of atmospheric air movement irregularities such as wind velocity vector, clear air turbulence, aircraft induced vorteces and turbulence, by means of electromagnetic waves. An air volume (10) under investigation is illuminated by a transmitter (1, 1A, 1B) with a beam of coherent electromagnetic energy (1E), and a resulting wave field (2E) is received and subsequently coherently demodulated and processed in process means to derive information on the existence of the said atmospheric irregularities and furthermore to give specific measurements of related parameters. At least one receiver (2, 2A, 2B) for said resulting wave field (2E), which is due to scattering in said air volume (10), is positioned at a bistatic location having a selected distance (2R) from said transmitter (1, 1A, 1B). Said electromagnetic energy (1E) is transmitted at microwave frequencies in a concentrated beam. Transmitter and receiver antennas (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B), respectively, are directed so as to cover said air volume (10) with a scattering angle ( THETA ) chosen to have such a (low) value that scattering from atmospheric irregularities in said air volume (10) has a higher power than noise sources in the system.
