Abstract
We have implemented a CO2-laser heterodyne system with which very efficiently phase difference fluctuations and power spectra caused by atmospheric propagation of the radiation can be determined. Examples, demonstrating the capability of the system to measure path averaged crosswind velocity and rain rate, are presented.
