โฆ Synopsis
Shipboard measurements of temperature fluctuations, mean wind, temperature, and humidity permit comparisons to be made of experimental and empirical estimates of C$ the temperature structure function parameter. Surface flux estimates are obtained from bulk aerodynamic formulae. Temperature fluctuation data are selected to minimize a salt-contamination effect which causes increases in temperature variance. Predictions for C', based on surface flux scaling agree within 20%. except for near neutral and large unstable conditions
where disagreement can be attributed to measurement problems.

Atmospheric turbulence measurements, including temperature and humidity fluctuations, were made from the R/ VAcania off the coast of California in June, 1979. The purpose of the experiment was to investigate the scaling properties of the humidity structure function parameter (Ci) and temperaturehumi
