As part of this programme, a monostatic, PC controlled acoustic sounding system has been designed, developed and installed at the Indian station Maitri (70.7?S: 11.7?E) in Antarctica. Rapid progress in the acoustic sounding technology has made it to be an effective and simple tool for probing the planetary boundary layer (McAllister, 1968,McAllister et al.,1969,Beran et al.,1971,Gurm et al.,1982) and the technique has been utilised in countless applications (Hooke et al.,1972,Somal,1981,Dutta et al.,1989,Rao et al.,1991,. As a result, there has been a rapid progress in the evelopment of technology itself and today, acoustic sounding is an integral part of almost all atmospheric science programmes even under the most hostile Antarctic environment where the success still depends on skill, magination and efforts particularly in manned operations. The Indian PBL programme in Antarctica is relatively new. By now, an automatic weather station and a 9m operational instrumented tower have been established to record data apart from the surface based meteorological observations, radiation data and radiosonde flights.An acoustic sounder has also been fitted.
