Abstract

Previous work on temporal statistical properties of optical waves in marine turbulence has focused on isotropic marine turbulence. Increasing studies indicate that anisotropy exists. This paper is the first work to investigate the temporal properties of plane and spherical waves in anisotropic marine turbulence. New temporal power spectral models for optical wave irradiance fluctuations will be developed. Comparisons between the new models and the published models for the anisotropic terrestrial turbulence will be conducted. Results exhibit the atmosphere humidity fluctuations aggravate the temporal variations of optical wave irradiance scintillation in contrast to the anisotropic terrestrial turbulence. In addition, the anisotropy of marine turbulence weakens the temporal fluctuations of optical wave irradiance.
