Abstract: Measurements of velocity and scalar fluctuations were made using a stable platform in Bass Strait at a height of ?5 m above the mean surface of the ocean. These measurements were obtained over a period of time where the ...

Abstract: The influence of surface waves on the Reynolds shear stress and the heat flux, measured in the atmospheric surface layer ?5 m above the ocean, is discussed using the method of Lu and Willmarth (1973). During the observational ...

Abstract: Conditional sampling and averaging techniques are used to obtain statistics of convectively-driven quasi-ordered structures at a height of 4 m within the atmospheric surface layer. The fraction of time 'y occupiedby these ...

Abstract: Measurements of turbulent momentum, heat and moisture fluxes have been made in Bass Strait from a stable platform, at a height of approximately 5 m above water. Direct measurements of these fluxes are compared with estimates ...

Abstract: A review of the evidence for the organized temperature structure observed in both the atmospheric surface layer and the laboratory boundary layer reveals similar features between the two turbulent flows. This similarity ...
