AIRBORNE INVESTIGATION OF ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE

In atmospheric turbulence a (-5/3) power law behavior of the energy spectrum was shown by experiment to exist over a considerable range of wave numbers. This range can exceed three decades under conditions of intense dissipation. Proof was given of the feasibility of airborne hot-wire anemometry as...

Description
Summary:In atmospheric turbulence a (-5/3) power law behavior of the energy spectrum was shown by experiment to exist over a considerable range of wave numbers. This range can exceed three decades under conditions of intense dissipation. Proof was given of the feasibility of airborne hot-wire anemometry as a new experimental technique. Supported by Bureau of Naval Weapons under NORD-16597 through the Ordnance Research Lab.; also issued as ORL-TM-617.2471-03.
