The capabilities of dynamics analysis of the sounding-beam intensity profile at the output of an atmospheric path on the basis of the chronogram structure tensor are considered. The spatio–temporal structure of the velocity field of refraction distortions is investigated. The characteristic dimensions of the regions of the translational and rotational types of flow motions are determined. The profiles of local velocity projections are obtained, as well as their statistical properties under the conditions of weak variations of meteoparameters in the output flow recording interval. Comparison of the characteristic values of wind velocity that is recorded with an array of anemometers and those calculated with the suggested method allowed us to elaborate an approach to the rough estimation of the translational and fluctuation components of aerodynamic flows at the path.
