Statistical Theory of Scintillation-Update

In Chapter 3 of my book the system of differential equations that characterize the propagation of complex two-frequency field moments in irregular media were developed. The attached note reviews this material and its connection to the original and most cited source of the equations in the scintillation theory literature.  A number of small but annoying errors in the equations have been corrected, and some definitions have been added for clarity.   With recent updates and additions as of July 23, 2011,  BookNotesCh3, fourth-moment-notes, ScintTheoryErrata
