Abstract
Total turbulent energy of both mountain and valley winds depends on the configuration of the parent valley, while the form of the spectrum is shown to be sensitive to the occurrence and amount of cloud cover. Thus increasing cloud cover results in a displacement of eddy energy in the direction of lower frequencies.Keywords
