The influence of stratified random inhomogeneities of a medium on the refraction of an electromagnetic wave is studied. It is shown that fluctuations of the point at which the ray emerges are governed by the fluctuations of the turning point in the medium when the gradients of the random component of the refractive index exceed the average gradient, which governs the regular refraction. The possible application of these results to the diagnostics of a randomly inhomogeneous, non-gyrotropic plasma is discussed.
