Abstract:

The article contains an analysis of the processes of mixing in a turbulent atmosphere, based on systematic application of the methods of the theory of similitude. Empirical data on the distribution of wind velocity under various conditions of temperature stratification are generalized and a method is proposed for computing the austausch characteristics on the basis of measuring wind velocity and temperature gradient.
