Horizontal velocity structure functions in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere: 2. Theoretical considerations

The Kolmogorov equation for the third-order velocity structure function is derived for atmospheric mesoscale motions on an f plane. A possible solution is a negative third-order structure function, varying linearly with separation distance and mean dissipation, just as in three-dimensional turbulenc...
