Abstract
Results of analyzing structure functions of wind velocity components in the surface layer of the atmosphere over an inhomogeneous underlying surface are considered. Based on processing experimental data, three main types of structure functions are distinguished and analytical models for their approximation are proposed in the range of shifts related to the inertial turbulence interval. The repeatability of the distinguished types of structure functions is estimated for different observation points and the statistics of approximating functions’ parameters is considered.
