Abstract
A complete statistical description of longitudinal velocity and temperature fluctuations in a high Reynolds number geophysical flow has been obtained using a unique submersible laser-Doppler velocimeter to measure the instantaneous fluid velocity. The laser-Doppler velocimeter measures the velocity of small particles embedded in the fluid by means of the Doppler shift in the frequency of the laser light scattered from the moving particles.
