Aircraft observations of boundary layer turbulence: Intermittency and the cascade of energy and passive scalar variance

We analyze boundary layer velocity and temperature measurements acquired by aircraft at 22 Hz. The calculated longitudinal velocity third-order structure function yields approximate agreement with Kolmogorov's four-fifths law for the scale range ∼10–100 m with a downscale energy flux of ∼4×10⁻⁵...
