Effect of anisotropic fluctuations of the refractive index on transhorizon ultrashort-wave propagation in the atmosphere
Abstract
A perturbation theory for complex propagation constants is considered, based on the invariant imbedding method. This approach makes it possible to describe the effect of nonstratified fluctuations of the refractive index on transhorizon propagation of ultrashort waves in the framework of the adiabatic approximation in the case when an evaporation duct exists. Examples of calculations are presented, and characteristic stochastic effects are studied.
