description With the in-depth study of atmospheric turbulence, scholars have identified that the anisotropy of turbulence cells should not be forgotten. The anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence model can better characterize the actual situation of atmospheric turbulence. However, the results of recent experiments by Wang et al. and Beason et al. demonstrate that the turbulence cell has an anisotropic tilt angle, i.e., the long axis of turbulence cell may not be horizontal to the ground but has a certain angle with the ground. In this paper, we derive the anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence spectra for the horizontal and satellite links with anisotropic tilt angle. Then by use of these spectra, the analytical expressions of scintillation index in the horizontal and satellite links are derived for the weak fluctuation condition. The calculation results display that the scintillation index for the horizontal and satellite links vary with the changes of anisotropic tilt angle and azimuth angle. Therefore, the anisotropic tilt angle is indispensable in the horizontal and satellite links.
