Abstract :
A model of turbulent anisotropy of refractive index fluctuations near the surface of the earth is presented and used to calculate the mutual coherence function (MCF) of a propagating plane wave. it is found that there are measurable differences in the transverse (horizontal and vertical) MCF´s thus making possible active remote sensing of turbulent anisotropy.
