Richardson's number in the free atmosphere

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

From an example of high-resolution FPS-16 wind measurements in the free atmosphere it is shown that Richardson's number is strongly dependent on the scale of the layer over which it is measured. This may be one of the reasons for the discrepant results obtained by various authors in correlating the occurrence of clear-air turbulence with this number.
