Wave structure function and spatial coherence radius of plane and spherical waves propagating through oceanic turbulence. Optics Express, 22(22), 27112-27122. http://dx.doi.org/10.1364/OE.22.0271121094-4087http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/1424The analytical formulae for the wave structure functions (WSF) and the spatial coherence radius of plane and spherical waves propagating through oceanic turbulence are derived. It is found that the Kolmogorov five-thirds power law of WSF is also valid for oceanic turbulence in the inertial range. The changes of the WSF and the spatial coherence radius versus different parameters of oceanic turbulence are examinedeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessUnderwater TurbulenceFluctuationsBeamsCommunicationLightModelWave structure function and spatial coherence radius of plane and spherical waves propagating through oceanic turbulenceWave Structure Function and Spatial Coherence Radius of Plane and Spherical Waves Propagating Through Oceanic TurbulenceArticle2222271122712210.1364/OE.22.027112
