Scientific paper

The theory of diffractive scattering by small-scale irregularities is combined with the results of Booker and MajidiAhi (1981) concerning refractive scattering by large-scale irregularities in a phase-changing screen, in a study of three intensity scintillation phenomena: (1) the reflection of radio and optical waves from an ocean surface disturbed by a spectrum of water waves; (2) the scintillation of VHF, UHF and SHF radio waves traversing the ionospheric F-region; and (3) the scintillation of the radio waves mentioned while traversing the solar wind. Spectral diagrams are drawn to show how the outer, inner, Fresnel, focal, lens and peak scales vary with such relevant parameters as electromagnetic wave-frequency for the ocean, RMS fractional fluctuation of ionization density for the ionosphere, and distance of closest approach to the sun for the solar wind.
