Microscale temperature fluctuations were measured at 2 m above a grassy surface. The temperature-derivative spectrum was in general agreement with earlier results but the bump at nondimensional wavenumbers higher than 0.02 was not as pronounced as has been observed. The Obukhov-Corrsin constant for

Two-point, one-dimensional coherence in horizontally homogeneous atmospheric turbulence is studied, both by experiment and analysis. Measurements are carried out using horizontally spaced sensors with the separation perpendicular to the mean velocity. Two-dimensional spectral models and three-dimens
Vertical profiles, up to 914 m, of simultaneous measurements of the rate of dissipation of temperature variance (N) and turbulent kinetic energy (E), in certain broad classifications are presented. The statistical distribution of the data, which appears to be closely log-normal is discussed. The pro
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
