Abstract: | Numerical analysis of the centimeter wave propagation in an evaporation duct with allowance for scattering by correlated turbulent
fluctuations of the tropospheric refraction index is carried out. It is shown that energy leakage from the duct leads to an
additional decrease in the average wave power. The amplitude of random power variations above the duct turns out to be significantly
higher compared with the variations inside the duct. An increase in the vertical correlation radius of refraction-index inhomogeneities
leads to an increase in the vertical correlation radius of the radio-wave intensity.
