text: # Sonic Booms in Atmospheric Turbulence
  
  Sonic Booms in Atmospheric Turbulence (SonicBAT) is an experiment of the Commercial Supersonic Technology Project, funded and operated by NASA.
  
  SonicBAT investigated the effect of low-altitude turbulence on the loudness of sonic booms hitting the ground using an F/A-18 aircraft to generate sonic booms. The sonic booms and the weather data are then recorded using a TG-14, ground microphone array, and weather equipment.
