Abstract:

The problem of optical radiation scattering in the turbulent medium with discrete disseminations is treated for the cases in which the expansion of the scattering operator in terms of different multiplicity of scattering in the two–component medium comprising the turbulent inhomogeneities of the refractive index and the ensemble of particles can be approximated by the finite number of terms. Derived expressions for the scattered wave field can be used in theoretical studies of the laser radar techniques for sounding the parameters of atmospheric turbulence and for estimating the measurement error due to the random large–scale pulsations of the refractive index on the path "lidar––scattering volume".
