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 avai

## Abstract Results of our recent investigation of spectral measurements of wind velocity in the surface layer are analysed in light of the hypothesis proposed by Kaimal __et al.__ (1972). It is confirmed that in the inertial subrange the spectra for all the three components and varying stability c
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
## Abstract Recently, the equilibrium height of the stable boundary layer received much attention in a series of papers by Zilitinkevich and co‐workers. In these studies the stable boundary‐layer height is derived in terms of inverse interpolation of different boundary‐layer height scales, each rep
