Comparison of theories for intensity fluctuations in strong turbulence
Abstract
Theories for the intensity scintillations of a wave propagating through a thin, highly turbulent layer have recently been developed by both the optical and radio-astronomy communities. It is demonstrated here that these results, which are at first glance dissimilar, are in fact identical.
