The volume covers such issues in propagation engineering as modeling, measurement techniques, remote sensing, and system effects. Basic problems of absorption, turbulence, and scattering are included, and advances in the theoretical understanding of turbulence-degraded images and in the adaptive correction of such images are reported. The effect of forward scattering on imaging performance is also covered, and models integrating many of the atmospheric effects into system-performance evaluation tools are described. A number of papers are devoted to the characterization of the propagation environment and atmospheric effects. Propagation and imaging through turbulence and aerosols are considered, and attention is given to marine atmospheric effects on electrooptical system performance, the validation of random phase screens, propagation of UV laser radiation in a controlled atmosphere, vertical profiles of drop size distributions in very low stratus clouds and associated subcloud regions, and the morphology of atmospheric transparent inhomogeneities.
