Abstract The filamentation of a femtosecond laser pulse in atmosphere under the joint influence of turbulence and aerosol has been numerically studied for the first time. A result of these studies is that the presence of aerosol in a turbulent atmosphere increases the distance to the onset of multifilamentation. We have studied the competition between two factors of aerosol coherent scattering in the process of multiple filamentation of a femtosecond pulse in the atmosphere: generation of light field perturbations and energy losses. Similarity parameters have been determined for different conditions in the problem of multifilamentation in aerosol. Full text
