Production, transport and dissipation terms in the temperature variance equation have been measured in the atmospheric surface layer. The transport term is, within the experimental uncertainty, negligible. The dissipation term, determined by assuming local isotropy, is approximately equal to product

Production, transport and dissipation terms in the mean cube temperature equation have been evaluated from measurements in the atmospheric surface layer under moderately unstable conditions. The transpart term, calcuIated by making use of the quasi-Gaussian approximation, is, on average, comparable
## Abstract The behaviour of structure parameters, relating turbulence properties to other turbulence properties, has been determined from atmospheric surface layer data obtained over both land and ocean. The ratio of momentum flux to turbulence energy is found to decrease significantly as the inst
Velocity and temperature derivatives were obtained at a height of 4 m in the atmospheric surface layer above land. With the assumption of local isotropy, these measurements are used to obtain some statistics of the turbulent energy and scalar dissipation fields. These statistics include the variance
Abslract. Temperature observations of three buoys drifting in the Weddell Sea for one year and covering the ice-water-ice cycle from July 1986 to July 1987 are presented. Significant differences between winter and summer are shown to be a consequence of the air-sea heat exchange being drastically mo
The dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy, E, and the temperature structure function parameter, C& have been measured over water from the near surface (Z = 3 m) to the top of the boundary layer. The near surface values of E and C; were used to calculate the velocity and temperature Monin Obuk
