Random inhomogeneities in a moving medium
Abstract
One of the main goals of analytical studies of wave propagation in a random medium is to relate the statistical characteristics of a propagating wave to the statistics of the random inhomogeneities in the medium. Therefore, we begin Part II of this book with the statistical description of fluctuations in temperature, velocity, and the concentration of a component dissolved in the medium. Examples of the latter are fluctuations of water vapor in the atmosphere and salinity in the ocean.
