Scientific paper

Electromagnetic scintillation describes the phase and amplitude fluctuations imposed on signals that travel through the atmosphere. These volumes provide a modern reference and comprehensive tutorial, treating both optical and microwave propagation and integrating measurements and predictions at each step of the development. This first volume deals with phase and angle-of-arrival measurement errors, accurately described by geometrical optics. Measured properties of tropospheric and ionsopheric irregularities are reviewed first. Electromagnetic fluctuations induced by these irregularities are then estimated for a wide range of applications and compared with experimental results in each case. These fluctuations limit the resolution of astronomical interferometers and large single-aperture telescopes.
