Anomalous scaling of mesoscale tropospheric humidity fluctuations

Water vapor fluctuations are measured and analyzed at an unprecedented 10-m resolution throughout the troposphere. Computation of structure functions shows that specific humidity variations observed by research aircraft over the Pacific Ocean exhibit anomalous scaling from about 50 m to 100 km in ho...
