Abstract
The dominant period of air parcel oscillation in the vertical within the planetary boundary layer is estimated from vertical velocity spectra derived from 40 constant volume balloon (tetroon) flights in the vicinity of the 460 m BREN tower at the Nevada Test Site. Lapse rates obtained from the tower show that in the mean the dominant periodicity closely corresponds to the Brunt-Vaisala period for lapse rates −1.Keywords
