## Abstract A relationship is derived between the vertical temperature gradient in the lower atmosphere during daylight hours and other meteorological quantities. Pyrheliometer records of solar radiation taken simultaneously with temperature gradient measurements gave the empirical relation __T1–T2
C+ nleasur~ments taken over a desert in stable conditions indicate that the atmosphere remains interi~litt~ntly turbulent for Ri numbers as high as to. This is in contrast to previous results which suggest that the ~~tnlosphere is essentially nonturbulent for Ri > 2. These measurements also indicate
## Abstract Following the development of an automatic instrument for the determination of evaporation and sensible‐heat transfer by the eddy‐correlation technique, a large number of measurements of these eddy fluxes have been made over level pasture‐land. The observations, taken at a height of 4 m,
