Abstract :
Energetic balance between the ground and the atmosphere is a powerful tool leading to a better understanding of global warming. From all the techniques, scintillometry is the most suitable one to give access to sensible heat flux along distances of several kilometers. In association with an adaptive process, such as the Gabor transform, this device can give a new approach of atmospheric phenomena.
