Small-scale atmospheric turbulence and its interaction with larger-scale flows
Abstract
The properties of small-scale atmospheric turbulence and its influence on larger-scale flows are briefly described, with particular reference to the effects of stratification. The questions for which no satisfactory answers are presently available are reviewed.
