Book excerpt: This memorandum presents results of a limited literature survey showing the atmosphere is typically in a turbulent state and contains vertical motions due to eddies having a wide range of size and intensity. The methods of power spectral analysis and their applications to atmospheric turbulence studies are outlined, and references provided, for possible use in implementing needed programs at test ranges and in development projects. These programs should include comprehensive studies of the environmental turbulence at test ranges, which should themselves be regarded as instruments possessing inherent physical characteristics which influence the tests being made.
