Abstract
An optical model of the Earth's atmosphere for the integral characteristics of intense laser radiation in the near and mid-infrared wavelengths propagating along high-altitude slant paths is presented. A feature of the model is a combined accounting for the linear and nonlinear optical effects in the atmosphere.
