Abstract

A new approach is suggested to the numerical simulation of laser beam propagation through large-scale atmospheric inhomogeneities. Within this approach, the propagation medium is represented as a continuous 3D distribution of largescale inhomogeneities and a set of common 2D phase screens. A new highly effective simulation method with accounting for the effect of large-scale inhomogeneities is suggested within the aberration-free approximation. It is shown that experimentally observed large-scale inhomogeneities can strongly affect long-distance radiation propagation.
