Firstly, in the paper, the difficulties arising in the classical methods of the mean wind determinations in the lower tropospheric layer, are point out.
Then, the Authors present a theory of a new version of the acoustical method, namely the emission in altitude of an optical signal accompagnied by an acoustical one. At the ground there are the corresponding receivers. The radiosounding is also necessary. The uncertainty is low. The method is sitable for the study of the orographic influence on the wind and for the problems of the atmospheric pollution diffusion.
