Abstract
Measurements and analysis of large-scale turbulent irregularities in the
atmosphere are reported. Results were obtained from precision measurement of
atmospheric temperature fluctuations at 24 and 70 feet above ground for a
variety of wind velocities at the Mount Wilson Observatory. Measurements were
made as wind blew air past detectors, at frequencies of 0.01-10 Hz,
corresponding to distances in the atmosphere between about 1 and 250 m. Analysis
shows that large-scale turbulences fit the Greenwood-Tarazano model well, and
notably better than the von Karman model of turbulence.
