Abstract:

A statistical theory of the transfer of an optical image through the earth's atmosphere is developed. The distribution functions of the following characteristics are found: the brightness of atmospheric haze, the optical transfer functions, and the brightness of radiation reflected by the groundt-tatmosphere system.
