WAVE PROPAGATION IN RANDOM MEDIA
elongated tails of pulses in a turbulent atmosphere. Scat- tering in continuous and discrete random media have many similarities and can often be described with the same equations (Ostashev et al., 2018).
We hope that this article has helped to illuminate the origins of WPRM and Tatarskii’s contributions to the subject while providing interesting examples of its applications to the atmosphere and ocean and to remote sensing of these media.
