Abstract
Abstract Measurements of turbulent wind velocity, humidity and temperature spectra for stable and unstable stratification in the atmospheric surface layer obtained during an experiment over the North Pacific Ocean are presented. The velocity field appears to be in a state of local isotropy as measured by the ratio of vertical to streamwise velocity spectra Su(n>/ Su(n> at the measurement height of 29 m above the sea surface. Using Monin-Obukhov scaling, spectral shapes for humidity are similar to those for overland temperature. Evidence is presented which suggests that previous departures of marine temperature measurements from Monin-Obukhobzv similarity may be due to humidity sensitivity of salt-spray-contaminated temperature probes. Overland humidity data from the AFCRL-UCSD 1973 Minnesota Experiment (Champagne et al., 1977) were analyzed and also found to exhibit Monin-Obukhov similarity.
