Acoustic soundings, performed at the Pic-du-Midi Observatory in July 1982, have shown that the sound-wave reflectivity profiles, associated with temperature fluctuations in atmospheric layers, are correlated to the image quality obtained with the 2 m telescope. Such an observation suggests that systematic observations, by remote sensing techniques, of the atmospheric turbulent structure and of its evolution may permit the measurement and the forecasting of the quality of the nocturnal atmosphere. Then objective planning and optimization of the use of the astronomic instrument become possible.
