Abstract
Observations of the relative diffusion of 13 sets of tetroon pairs in the mixed layer during convective conditions in eastern Tennessee are reported. The root-mean-square separation S is proportional to time t raised to a power of 1 for times from 2 to 30 min and a power of 0.75 for times from 30 to 100 min. On the average, the observations are satisfied by the approximation dS/dt ≈ σy where σy is the standard deviation of the lateral wind speed fluctuations, as sensed by the tetroon.
