Abstract

Vertical fine structures of temperature and water vapor in the troposphere were detected from radiosonde data between 1 and 8km MSL. It was found that fluctuations of temperature and specific humidity have a negative correlation in most of the vertical soundings examined. Their mean thickness is about 300m. The mean amplitudes of fluctuations are 0.4K for temperature and 0.4gkg-1 for specific humidity.
