Abstract
The fourth-moment equation for the cross-frequency correlation of intensity fluctuations of a plane wave propagating in a random medium is solved numerically by using an adaptive grid method. A wide range of frequency ratios r and scattering strength parameters Γ are considered, and approximate laws for the height and position of the peak of the covariance of intensities are obtained as functions of r and Γ. Difficulties arising in the analytical solution of the fourth-moment equation are discussed.
