Results of synchronous remote measurements of the wind velocity profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer above Moscow and in а rural area 45 km from Moscow are given. Continuous measurements were carried out for one month bу Doppler acoustic sonars ( sodars). Random and systematic differences in the vertical profiles of the wind velocity in the city atmosphere from the atmosphere in the rural area have been discovered at altitudes up to 100 m. Above 150 m, the wind velocity and direction do not differ very much at these two posts.
