We demonstrate that a recently derived approximate solution to the fourth-moment equation that was thought to be Valid only for strong scattering is in fact valid for all values of the scattering parameter. We use a modified Kolmogorov spectrum for the index-of-refraction fluctuations and present results in two dimensions for comparison with numerical solutions. We also present results in three dimensions that should represent a quantitatively accurate, theoretical description of the atmospheric-scintillation problem.
