Abstract
It has recently been found that the spectral density of the measured LWC us ually deviates from the -5/3 law within the inertial subrange of turbulence at scales smaller than about 5 m for both Sc and Cu. This finding could be explained by the theory of the turbulence in clouds discussed by Kabanov a nd Mazin [Kabanov, A.S., Mazin, I.P., 1970. The influence of phase transiti on processes on turbulence in clouds. Trudy CAO (98) 113-121, in Russian.]. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
