Decomposition of wind velocity and temperature fluctuations into wave and turbulent signals, using wavelet transform

In the stable stratified atmospheric boundary layer, spectra might be affected by several kinds of waves. Since the problem of turbulent diffusion is closely related to the spectra of wind velocity fluctuations, it is necessary to separate the contributions of those waves from that of turbulence. Discrete wavelet packets transform was applied to temperature and vertical velocity fluctuations measured in Candiota, RS (31°28´ S, 53°40´ W), sampled...
