由于稳定的、可调谐的、光束衍射限的激光器的发展,已有可能使用脉冲相干激光雷达遥测大气风速。实现这种测量的要求是:须对整个对流层的水平风场的垂直高度分布进行测量,其水平方向的空间分辨率为300km~2,垂直分辨率1km,测量精度1ms~(-1);测量范围复盖全球;光雷达系统应能装在宇宙飞行器上进行工作。已经对从300km高度的航天飞机轨道和800km高度的极轨道上进行测量的方案 Due to the development of stable, tunable, beam-limited lasers, it has been possible to telemetry atmospheric velocities using pulsed coherent lidar. The requirements of this kind of measurement are as follows: the vertical height distribution of the horizontal wind field of the whole troposphere must be measured with the horizontal spatial resolution of 300km ~ 2, the vertical resolution of 1km and the measurement accuracy of 1ms ~ (-1); the measurement Coverage of the world; light radar system should be installed on the spacecraft to work. Plans have been made for measurements from space shuttle orbits at altitudes of 300 km and polar orbits at altitudes of 800 km
