This study attempts to determine the scales of turbulence in a high Reynolds number shear flow near which transition to isotropy occurs and the scales for which Taylor's hypothesis is applicable. The flow studied was the wind near height xg = 2 m above a flat land surface. Four hot-wire anemometers

## Abstract Diffusion measurements in a modelled mixed layer support the equivalence of an instantaneous lineβsource concentration field without a mean wind and a continuous point source with a mean wind when use is made of Taylor's translation hypothesis. Taylor's hypothesis as applied to mixedβla
## 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
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
