RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE RICHARDSON NUMBER AND ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE.

Abstract

The paper presents distributions of Richardson numbers in zones with and without turbulence, on the basis of gustsonde data. Analysis of the resulting distributions showed there is no unequivocal relation between the measured turbulence and the Richardson number. (Author)
