The influence of water vapor fluctuations on vertical turbulent fluxes is examined. It is shown that effects on density and, consequently, buoyancy are insignificant. However, because specific heat of air is a function of specific humidity, these fluctuations are found to influence sensible heat fl

## Abstract Cloud absorption inferred from the difference between the net fluxes measured by stacked aircraft below and above clouds is strongly affected by the uncertainties due to cloud horizontal inhomogeneity. the simplest way to get rid of these uncertainties is to perform grand averages over
The necessary assumption that the instantaneous flow field seen by hot-wire probes with two or more sensors is uniform, i.e. that all sensors are cooled by identically the same instantaneous velocity field, is often quite erroneous in highly sheared turbulent flow, such as near the wall in a turbule
