Abstract
The results of numerical simulation of the laser radiation propagation reflected by a flat mirror on an atmospheric path under conditions of strong turbulent intensity fluctuations of the wave field have been presented. The ratio of the backscatter radiation mean power to the mean radiation power transmitted to a double distance have been analyzed. It has been shown, with an increase of the optical turbulence the mean backscattering power almost 1.5 times increase at a receiving aperture diameter of less than 5 cm in comparison with the mean power for direct propagation by the double distance.
