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 temperature fluctuation at heights of more than about 100 m in a way which suggests that convective plumes, or β€˜thermals,’ become organized within the lowest few metres of the atmosphere.

## Abstract Results of a study of about 70 spectra of the horizontal components of gustiness in strong winds are described. From these and other published data the following expression for the spectrum of gustiness for strong winds in the lower layers is suggested:magnified image Cross‐spectra and
