## Abstract The response of a stratified Boussinesq fluid subjected to a moving periodic thermal forcing is analysed and the role of thermal stratification in the generation of a mean βzonalβ motion discussed. In the parameter range where the phase speed of this forcing is much less than the speed
The intermittent structure of the turbulent wind field in the atmospheric surface layer is investigated by conditional sampling methods. The results show that downward momentum can be transported efficiently during a peak gust. The horizontal structure of the gust is also revealed by observing the s
