The effects of turbulence in the focal region of spherical or weakly oblate refracting bodies on the evolute flashes associated with the crossing of the evolute of the planetary limb by an occulted spacecraft are investigated. The approximate theory of focal evolutes in oblate refractivity fields developed by Eshleman et al. (1979) is combined with a generalized weak scattering scintillation theory that includes the effect of focusing around a curved limb to obtain expressions for the scintillation index and power spectrum. Results are then applied to the radio observations of the crossing of the focal evolute of Jupiter by Voyager 1, in which no flash was detected, and to the effects of the solar coronal plasma on the gravitational lens of the sun.
