B. ; Jokipii, J. R. Abstract It is shown that turbulent scattering can produce a spurious value for the radio-occultation-derived scale height of a planetary atmosphere. Application to the Jovian atmosphere indicates that recent measurements obtained during the flyby of Pioneers 10 and 11 can be substantially affected if suitable large-amplitude turbulence is present. Other implications of this possibility are briefly discussed.
