Abstract
A fortuitous equality of the turbulence Reynolds number (850) in a large single-stream shear layer and an atmospheric boundary layer permits a direct comparison of their small scale properties. The velocity spectra: E11, E22 and H12 are in nominal agreement. The transverse vorticity spectra, however, exhibit strong differences.
