## Abstract Observations of the convective boundary layer over southern England using an instrumented light aircraft and radioβsondes enable its structure and development to be described for two periods of active, shallow convection. Budgeting is used to deduce the sensible heat flux as a function

β¦ Synopsis
Atmospheric surface-layer measurements of terms in the equation for the streamwise heat flux confirm previous results in both laboratory and atmosphere that the temperature-pressure gradient correlation acts as a sink, approximately equal in magnitude to the production term. The measured viscous dissipation term is independent of stability and represents less than 10% of the production term over the range of experimental stability conditions. Models for the temperature-pressure gradient correlation are compared with the measurements.

## Abstract Some new measurements of the ozone flux by the profile method have been made and these are compared with others in the literature. A treatment of ozone transfer to the surface is given which takes account of the resistances offered by the fully turbulent air layers and by the surface ro
