ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for detecting conditions in the atmosphere which are hazardous to flying aircraft and providing early warning to pilots or ground personnel. The method includes using a laser beam and a coherent optical receiver to optically sense sound waves produced by those hazardous conditions and measuring the effect of those sound waves on the transmitted and received optical beams.
