"Electromagnetic Scintillation: Volume 1, Geometrical Optics" by Albert D. Wheelon is a astronomy book and space science reference focused on Cosmology. Best for students, researchers, and serious astronomy enthusiasts.

Electromagnetic Scintillation describes the phase and amplitude fluctuations imposed on signals that travel through the atmosphere. The two volumes of Electromagnetic Scintillation will constitute a modern reference and comprehensive tutorial, treating both optical and microwave propagation and integrating measurements and predictions at each step of the development. This first volume deals with phase and angle-of-arrival measurement errors, accurately described by geometrical optics and will be followed by a second volume on weak scattering. In this book, measured properties of tropospheric and ionsopheric irregularities are reviewed first. Electromagnetic fluctuations induced by these irregularities are then estimated for a wide range of applications.
