The spatial structure of neutral atmospheric surface-layer turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, two models based on Rapid Distortion Theory (RDT) are investigated to model the complete second-order structure of homogeneous, neutrally stratified atmospheric boundary-layer turbulence, including spectra of all velocity components and cross-spectra of any combination of velocity components at two arbitrarily chosen points.

Wind field simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient algorithm to simulate turbulent, atmospheric or wind tunnel generated wind fields is devised based on a model of the spectral tensor for atmospheric surface-layer turbulence at high wind speeds and can simulate two- or three-dimensional fields of one, two or three components of the wind velocity fluctuations.
