## Abstract The intensity and spectrum of temperature fluctuations recorded at a height of 2 m over flat grassland in stable conditions are examined. Thr results show a demarcation between two distinct rΓ©gimes, β turbulent β for Ri less than a critical value of about 0.2 and β quiet β for larger Ri

## Abstract Information about wind velocity is generally obtainable in the form of mean hourly velocity and highest velocity in a gust at the level of the recording anemometer which, where possible, has an effective height (judged by the quality of exposure) approaching an agreed standard of 10 m.
## Abstract A description is given of a portable distantβindicating apparatus suitable for carrying out critical explorations of the vertical distribution of temperature and humidity near the ground. The apparatus is simple in construction in that considerable use is made of moulded plastic tubes o
## Abstract Simultaneous records of temperature fluctuations and wind speed at several heights have been obtained with instruments suspended from captive balloons flying 225 m above level, uniform land. Variations in the horizontal wind speed near the ground appear to be associated with bursts of
## Abstract The angle between the nearβsurface and geostrophic wind vector, __Ξ±__~0~, is discussed in the light of existing and improved Ekman theory and, on the other hand, recently obtained numerical results corroborated by some experimental data, both obtained by other researchers. The latter re
