Abstract
We present a new approach to characterize the statistics of velocity increments for two different inhomogeneous turbulent air flows. Conditional probability density functions of velocity increments for different length scales are evaluated and compared to those of a local isotropic flow. Especially on large scales we can distinct clearly the different flows.
