Synopsis

An understanding of random propagation allows us to explain such widely different phenomena as the twinkling of stars, the fading of radio signals, and the great changes of level of acoustic signals in the ocean. This volume gathers together a broad selection of essays by experts in the field, reviewing important theoretical developments in random propagation and scattering, and describing some of the most recent experiments that both test theory and illustrate its applications.
