Abstract
Stanley Flatte and his research group produced many key contributions to the field of atmospheric optics: both theoretical and based on numerical experiments. The results of numerical simulation of wave propagation through the random atmosphere (scintillation), the new theoretical predictions of scintillation statistics, and the implications of this work for understanding experimental results will be reviewed. Much of this work is based on techniques applied to acoustical problems of sound propagation in the ocean. The unique properties of the atmosphere that are responsible for the large magnitude of optical scintillation were revealed by these careful analysis. Theoretical predictions of basic scintillation statistics for many conditions of interest were found to be lacking. New applications, unresolved issues, and future directions of this research will also be discussed.
