Abstract
We argue that the enhanced scattering of radio waves observed at low galactic longitude and latitude is caused by the low-density outer envelopes of HII regions in the inner 8 kpc of the Galaxy. We develop a simple phenomenological theory to estimate the strength of density fluctuations (C2N) in a turbulent medium and apply the theory to the HII envelopes, using the densities and sizes determined from a recent 325 MHz recombination line survey. The predicted values of C2N are in good agreement with the observations.
