Abstract
We investigate the effects of wind directions on the thermal blooming of a laser beam propagating in the air. We calculate the distributions and contours of the laser intensity for different wind directions and find that the thermal blooming for the laser propagating in the down-wind direction is weaker than that of the up-wind case.
