Abstract

A study is made of several cases of high‐level turbulence in which the intensity varied with the direction of flight of the aircraft. The direction of maximum turbulence is found to coincide fairly well with the direction of the contour lines. A theory is developed which attributes this type of turbulence to quasi‐horizontal gusts associated with strong horizontal wind shear. Gravity waves are examined as a possible alternative explanation and tentatively rejected.

Statistical functions such as correlation functions and spectra yield length scales, each of which describes a certain aspect of the large-scale structure of turbulence. In this study not only statistics of wind fluctuations measured at the same place have been analysed but also statistics of fluct
