Abstract
Speckle-turbulence interaction has the potential for allowing single-ended remote sensing of the path-averaged vector crosswind in a plane perpendicular to the line of sight to a target. If a laser transmitter is used to illuminate a target, the resultant speckle field generated by the target is randomly perturbed by the atmospheric turbulence as it propagates back to the location of the transmitter-receiver. When a crosswind is present, this scintillation pattern will move with time across the receiver.
