## Abstract Experiments conducted over a flat uniform ploughed field indicate that the small convective plumes commonly observed in the surface layer travel as an entity with horizontal speeds proportional to the friction velocity, __u__. This proportionality, in turn, implies a direct relationship

Production, transport and dissipation terms in the temperature variance equation have been measured in the atmospheric surface layer. The transport term is, within the experimental uncertainty, negligible. The dissipation term, determined by assuming local isotropy, is approximately equal to product
Production, transport and dissipation terms in the mean cube temperature equation have been evaluated from measurements in the atmospheric surface layer under moderately unstable conditions. The transpart term, calcuIated by making use of the quasi-Gaussian approximation, is, on average, comparable
