Abstract:

Components of the tensor of turbulent diffusion coefficients in the atmospheric surface layer were determined experimentally during a four-day observational period. Besides a pronounced diurnal, almost periodic, variation of these components, considerable fluctuations were found that couldn't be explained by measurement errors. An attempt is undertaken to explain such a behavior of the tensor of turbulent diffusion coefficients by the fractal structure of the process observed.
