Popis: The parabolic or forward scattering approximation has been used extensively in the study of wave propagation. This approximation is combined with a Gaussian white noise approximation for waves propagating in a random medium. The validity of this approximation is proved for stratified weakly fluctuating random media in the high-frequencies regime. The limiting distribution of the wave field is characterized as the unique solution of a random Schrodinger equation studied by Dawson and Papanicolaou [Appl. Math. Optim., 12 (1984), pp. 97–114].The proofs are based on various generalizations of the perturbed test function method developed by Kushner [Approximation and Weak Convergence Methods for Random Processes, MIT Press, 1984].
