RASS meaning in Academic & Science ?

Answer: What is Radio Acoustic Sounding System mean?

A radio acoustic sounding system (RASS) is a system for measuring the atmospheric lapse rate using backscattering of radio waves from an acoustic wave front to measure the speed of sound at various heights above the ground. This is possible because the compression and rarefaction of air by an acoustic wave changes the dielectric properties, producing partial reflection of the transmitted radar signal.From the speed of sound, the temperature of the air in the planetary boundary layer can be computed.The maximum altitude range of RASS systems is typically 750 meters, although observations have been reported up to 1.2 km in moist air.
