When radio waves propagate through a irregular medium, scattering by the random refractive index inhomogeneities can lead to a wide variety of phenomena, which include intensity scintillation. The observed scattering can be interpreted to gain information about the random medium and such inversion studies are valuable when the accessibility of the medium becomes difficult. This paper briefly describes the intensity scintillation of celestial radio sources caused by the turbulence in the solar wind and summarizes the salient features of the method employed in mapping the structure of disturbances leaving the Sun out to ∼1 AU.
