Abstract
A general formulation of the problem of extracting information about nontransient sources immersed in a randomly fluctuating medium is presented. The formulation is based upon a Green’s function approach in which the medium is treated as a random linear system. It is shown that the problem may be cast into two possible forms, each involving an integral equation the solution of which describes the locations and spectral content of all sources. One of these integral equations is time independent and consists exclusively of deterministic quantities. The other equation is time dependent, consists of stochastic as well as deterministic quantities, and contains considerably more detail. Approximate solutions to the second equation enable one to study image undulations as explicit functions of time. Examples are presented which illustrate some of the difficulties induced by the medium fluctuations when one attempts to solve the basic integral equations.
