A REVIEW OF LINE-OF-SIGHT PROPAGATION STUDIES OF THE SMALL-SCALE STRUCTURE OF THE ATMOSPHERE,

Abstract

The present state of theory and experiment are reviewed. Theory is adequate for line-of-sight propagation in weakly inhomogeneous media, and treats a wide variety of situations with potential for the probing of small-scale atmospheric phenomena, using acoustic, microwave and optical transmission. Thus far experiments have served mainly as tests of theory; useful information about the atmosphere will follow upon more intensive concern with the interpretive aspects of the problem. (Author)
