Summary :

There has been an increasing interest in multiple scattering phenomena in recent years. This is primarily due to the discovery of new multiple scattering phenomena and an increasing awareness that a common thread underlies the work of many researchers in such diverse fields as atmospheric optics, ocean acoustics, radio physics, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, plasma physics, geophysics, bioengineering, etc. In addition, waves in random media is one of the most challenging problems to theoreticians. Thus the field of wave propagation and scattering encompasses the most practical as well as the most theoretical questions. The strong interest in this subject is reflected in the launch of a new journal, Waves in Random Media, by the Institute of Physics, United Kingdom in 1991. This paper reviews some of the most recent developments and discoveries in the field of wave propagation and scattering in turbulence and volume and surface scattering. Included are new discoveries of backscattering enhancement and memory effects which may be applicable to tissue optics, ultrasound imaging, ocean acoustics and geophysical remote sensing. Also indicated are recent developments of numerical Monte-Carlo techniques and experimental studies on this subject.
