Keywords: sonic boom, atmospheric turbulence, stochastic field

The method of mathematical modeling of shock wave propagation through scalar or vector non-homogeneous media is proposed. Nonlinear transport equation for wave propagation along the rays is used to calculate acoustical pressure. Good qualitative agreement between calculated and experimental data of turbulence effect on sonic boom is demonstrated
