Electromagnetic scintillation describes the phase and amplitude fluctuations imposed on signals that travel through the atmosphere. Providing a modern reference and comprehensive tutorial for this subject, two volumes cover optical and microwave propagation, integrating measurements and predictions at each step of development. The first volume (published September 2001) dealt with phase and angle-of-arrival measurement errors, which are accurately described by geometrical optics. This second volume concentrates on amplitude and intensity fluctuations of the received signal. Also available...Volume I 0-521-80198-2 Hardback $110.00 C
Electromagnetic Scintillation: Volume 2, Weak Scattering
and over one million other books are available for Amazon Kindle.

Review
"Providing a modern reference and comprehensive tutorial for this subject, this volume concentrates on amplitude and intensity fluctuations of the received signal." Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
"The author is to be congratulated and thanked, for writing this comprehensive treatment of the scintillation of electromagnetic waves over a broad spectrum, from visible light to radio waves...Everyone specializing in electromagnetic scattering should have these volumes on his/her desk or in a nearby library."

Book Description
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 for this subject, treating both optical and microwave propagation. Measurements and predictions are integrated at each step of the development. The first volume dealt with phase and angle-of-arrival measurement errors, which are accurately described by geometrical optics. This second volume concentrates on amplitude and intensity fluctuations of the received signal.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very thourough treatment,
By J.P.V. Poiares Baptista (Voorhout Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electromagnetic Scintillation: Volume 1, Geometrical Optics (Vol 1) (Hardcover)
Very thourough treatment of phase scintillation and angle-of-arrival fluctuations. I am really looking forward to the second volume.
