✦ Synopsis

Some preliminary results from a series of experiments of simultaneous horizontal and vertical acoustic sounding of the atmosphere are described and discussed. The novel horizontal configuration offers some potential for investigating thermal plume motion and characteristics within the boundary layer. It could also be of use in assessing the importance of excess attenuation in quantitative acoustic sounding.

The standard deviation a of vertical two-point longitudinal velocity fluctuation differences is analyzed experimentally with eleven sets of turbulence measurements obtained at the NASA 150-m ground-winds tower site at Cape Kennedy, Florida. It is concluded that a/uo is proportional to (fAz/u.o) 0 .

## Abstract The dynamics of large‐scale, horizontal roll vortices in the neutral planetary boundary layer are investigated by means of a two‐dimensional numerical model. The rolls are assumed to be two‐dimensional and are calculated explicitly, while small‐scale turbulence is parametrized by a mixi
