The unified theory of coherence and polarization is applied to an investigation of the changes in the polarization, the coherence and the spectrum of partially coherent electromagnetic Hermite-Gaussian (EHG) beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence. Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel prin
