Observations of the temperature-humidity cospectrum and correlation spectrum were made with a cold platinum wire and a Ly-a hygrometer at 3.7 and 10 m above vegetated surfaces during unstable atmospheric conditions. It was found theoretically that a separation 6 between the temperature and humidity

โฆ Synopsis
Observations made over land and ocean show that the structure of convection in the lowest one-third of a well-mixed layer may be studied in terms of a density-related variable (e.g., 8,) without regard to whether structural elements are ascending or descending. This no longer holds in the remainder of the layer. Further, the temperature-humidity correlation is generally not the same for ascending and descending elements in any part of the layer. The consequences for short-path optical propagation are considered.

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
