Multiple filamentation poses a significant challenge for laser pulse propagation in the atmosphere. This article investigates how atmospheric turbulence influences the development of modulational instability, which leads to multiple filamentations. Through various analytical approaches, we demonstrate that the growth rate of this instability decreases when the refractive index exhibits stochastic behavior.
