Abstract
Abstract Measurements of clear-air turbulence spectra conducted by a Canberra aircraft over Australia between July and October 1963 reveal the existence of a wavelength region from somewhat less than 1000 ft to 4000 ft, in which the atmosphere receives turbulent energy. It is suggested that this energy stems from gravitational shearing waves which break up into turbulent eddies below a critical wavelength. The energies of these turbulent eddies seem to he well represented by a proportionality to k−5/3, characteristic of the inertial subrange of turbulence.
