✦ Synopsis

Several experimental results indicate that S, (the skewness of the vertical turbulent velocity) increases with height, and K, (the kurtosis) decreases with height in the neutral surface layer. The measured behavior of S, and K, with height under neutral conditions is shown to be consistent with available models for the gradient-diffusion and the pressure-velocity correlation. In addition, an estimate of the mode of the probability density distribution turns out to be helpful in interpreting the height dependence of K,.

Velocity and temperature derivatives were obtained at a height of 4 m in the atmospheric surface layer above land. With the assumption of local isotropy, these measurements are used to obtain some statistics of the turbulent energy and scalar dissipation fields. These statistics include the variance

Relationships between the bulk Richardson number, B, and other stability parameters were derived for the atmospheric surface layer. Nomograms were constructed, relating the Monin-Obukhov stability parameter, z/L, to B. The nomograms and the graph of Golder (1972) were used to establish various schem
