Abstract

In a previous publication (part I) it has been shown that for an arbitrary statistically isotropic and homogeneous medium the parabolic equation for the two-frequency mutual coherence function can be separated and thereby expressed as a superposition of modes. A parameterization based on the longitudinal part of this representation has also been treated. This paper explores the transverse structure and parameterization of the field solution by employing dimensional, variational and the modified WKB procedures for solving the eigenfunction/eigenvalue problem. General expressions are derived first for a general structure function and then specialized for a power-law structure function with emphasis on quadratic and Kolmogorov media.
