摘要: This paper discusses different methods of deriving information about turbulence parameters, such as dissipation and diffusion rates, from in-situ probings the middle atmosphere. Problems questions, Richardson number dependence, relation between horizontal vertical gradients, possible relations ‘constants’ used in equations, will be emphasized. We show that parameters are very sensitive for even small changes these ‘constants’. It is special interest to investigate role energetics problem can only solved quantitatively if Prandtl especially energy rate, derived with sufficient accuracy.
