Abstract
The inertial-range behavior of measured temperature structure functions, up to order 12, is compared with predictions by the log-normal and the model. Both models are unsatisfactory from a quantitative viewpoint. The comparison between measurements and models indicates that the intermittency of the temperature field is different from that of the velocity field.
