Abstract
An attempt has been undertaken to explain and describe. analytically, many of the features of recent experiments and numerical calculations of the homogeneous turbulence evolution in media stratified on density or temperature. Applying various variants of a small parameter method , let us analyze a set of asymptotic regimes of turbulent velocity and scalar fields development in the final stage of turbulence decay.
