Scientific paper

The Eikonal equation of geometrical optics and a weak scattering wave-optical formulation are separately used to calculate first- and second-order effects of turbulence on radio propagation through an atmosphere with uniformly varying average refractive index combined with a random component due to turbulence. The extent to which perturbations in bending angle and Doppler frequency affects atmospheric profiles of temperature and pressure derived from Doppler measurements is considered. The determination of the power spectra of turbulence effects, the contribution of different terms, and the use of the spectra for studying planetary atmospheres are discussed.
