This book is an early systematic monograph on atmospheric turbulence, written from the standpoint of dynamic meteorology and hydrodynamic turbulence theory. Lettau treats atmospheric turbulence as the study of irregular additional motions superimposed on mean airflow, and connects this concept with wind gustiness, turbulent exchange, vertical mixing, surface roughness, thermal stratification, and the atmospheric boundary layer. The contents cover the definition and significance of atmospheric turbulence, historical development of hydrodynamic and atmospheric turbulence research, basic fluid-mechanical concepts, kinetic gas theory, laminar and turbulent boundary layers, near-surface wind structure, turbulent transport of heat, moisture and atmospheric admixtures, turbulence in the free atmosphere, energy dissipation, measurement accuracy, meteorological instruments, and large-scale atmospheric turbulence. The book is important as a foundational German-language reference for boundary-layer meteorology and atmospheric exchange processes before the modern formalization of micrometeorology.
