virtual potential temperature

potential temperature is the temperature that a adiabatic parcel of fluid is in a standard reference pressure P0 (1000 millibars). However, virtual potential temperature are similar to potential temperature because they remove the temperature variation which is caused by the changing altitude of air parcel.

turbulence spectrum

spectrum is a continuous set of data which is not limited to a specific set. It is usually used for detecting the propitiates of electromagnetic wave, but we can use it to analysis the distribution of turbulence.
