## Abstract The details of the processes by which heat is transported through the lower atmosphere are, for the most part, still obscure although our knowledge of typical temperature distributions near the ground is now well founded, thanks chiefly to the researches of Johnson (1929), Best (1935),

## Abstract There is evidence for quite a sharp transition between the regimes of fully forced and of dominantly free convection in the atmosphere near the ground. The two appear to overlap significantly only over a narrow range of Richardson numbers, which may be less than twofold.
## Abstract In Part 1 observations of the positive and negative small ions in the lowest 2 m of the atmosphere near Cambridge are described, showing that the conductivity decreases with height in this region under most conditions. Simultaneous observations of the spaceβcharge density are incompatib
## Abstract Simultaneous records of temperature fluctuations and wind speed at several heights have been obtained with instruments suspended from captive balloons flying 225 m above level, uniform land. Variations in the horizontal wind speed near the ground appear to be associated with bursts of
