We give a detailed review of developments in atmospheric acoustics of the last decade. These developments include new ways to use refractive effects, studies of phase and amplitude fluctuations during propagation of sound along a path, nonlinear effects near high‐powered acoustic antennas, problems related to noise, insights into large‐scale atmospheric processes gained from infrasound, applications dependent on the Doppler frequency shift, and hybrid devices using both acoustic and electromagnetic waves. The introduction of the echosonde approximately 10 years ago results in the considerable emphasis given to advances in active acoustic remote sensing of atmospheric structure.
