It is shown from clear-air turbulence spectra measurements and clear-air turbulence probabilities that the energy dissipation between 25,000 and 40,000 ft is just over 1 watt m-a, a quantity of the same order as the dissipation near the ground.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
