Scientific paper

Kolmogoroff's irregularity model along with the Born approximation is applied to the inhomogeneous wave equation in order to interpret the detailed statistical structure of ionospheric radio wave scintillation. For locally homogeneous irregularities, a two-component description of the medium is obtained consisting of a slowly varying component and a more highly structured component which admits a stochastic integral representation but no Fourier representation. The theoretical analysis is applied to interpretation of ATS-5 data. A large change is inferred from the ratio parameter (relating the variance of the slowly varying component to the measure of the strength of the structured component per unit spatial wavelength interval) which implies a large change in the fine structure of the scintillation.
