Wave Propagation in Random Media (Scintillation): Proceedings of the conference held 3-7 August, 1992 at the University of Washington, USA.

This book of proceedings contains the invited papers presented at the conference held in Seattle. The main aim of the meeting was to promote a multi-disciplinary approach to research in scintillation: the optical, radio and acoustical communities are therefore well represented in these papers.
