Features: This book starts from the classic theory of electromagnetic fields and systematically describes the characteristics of light propagation in the atmosphere, while reviewing the research trends in this field over the past few decades. The book is divided into two main parts: the first four chapters describe the propagation characteristics of light through discrete particles in the atmosphere, and the last four chapters describe the propagation characteristics of light through atmospheric turbulence. The book also provides a general introduction to the optical properties of the atmosphere, particularly the properties of atmospheric turbulence. This book can serve as a graduate textbook for students majoring in optics and electromagnetic field propagation, and can also be used as supplementary reading material for senior undergraduate students in related fields.
