Conference: Participation Support for the First Inter- national Meeting for Wave Propagation in Random Media (Scintillation) to be held in Seattle, WA, on 8/3-7/92.

这笔赠款用于支助来自前苏联国家的约10名应邀发言者出席第一届随机介质中的波传播国际会议的旅费和参加费用（闪烁），华盛顿大学，西雅图，华盛顿州，1992年8月3日至7日。闪烁会议将汇集光学，无线电和声学社区交流思想和促进沟通。只讨论涉及闪烁的连续随机介质中的波传播问题。一些对工程、大气科学和观测天文学具有重要意义的相关主题包括：闪烁的统计描述；湍流谱的测量；遥感;图像和焦平面统计；随机介质中的脉冲传播；自适应光学;散斑干涉法。这次会议是第一次将在该领域工作的各种国际组织聚集在一起。许多来自前苏联国家的杰出科学家为这一领域的建立做出了贡献，事实上，超过三分之一的会议摘要来自这些国家。

This grant provides support for travel and participation costs of approximately ten invited speakers from the former Soviet countries to attend the First International Meeting for Wave Propagation in Random Media (Scintillation), at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA, August 3-7, 1992. The Scintillation meeting will bring together the optical, radio, and acoustical communities to exchange ideas and foster communication. Only problems of wave propagation in continuum random media involving scintillation will be addressed. Some of the relevant topics, of importance to engineering, atmospheric sciences and observational astronomy, include: statistical description of scintillation; measurements of turbulence spectra; remote sensing; image and focal plane statistics; pulse propagation in random media; adaptive optics; and speckle interferometry. This meeting is the first to bring together the diverse international groups working in the area. Many prominent scientists from the former Soviet countries have contributed to founding the field, and, in fact, over one-third of the meeting abstracts are from these countries.
