Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the effect of the wind speed on the thermal blooming of a laser beam propagating in the rain. In view of simulations, we obtain the contour distribution of the laser beam and calculate the change in air density by changing the wind speed for different rain rates. We find that with increase in the rain rate, the effect of the wind speed on the thermal blooming enhances.
