Abstract
A case study is presented of a high level flight by the MRF Canberra showing most of the characteristic features of intermittent clear air turbulence, gravity waves and smooth flight. Winds and temperatures obtained from two 500 km runs across a sharp upper trough are used to calculate energy spectra and crossβspectra over a range of wavelengths from 250 m to 100 km. The spectra show clearly the important contribution of the gravity waves in the range 1 km to 10 km, and the negligible contribution of the total high frequency energy in the case of intermittent slight clear air turbulence.
