Simulation of atmospheric turbulence by an open flow with an inertial interval of spectrum with the division of velocity pulsations into four components is proposed. Forty structural scales, partly confirmed by field and laboratory data, for ten characteristics of the spectrum have been obtained and shown in a graph. The concept of a memory constant of the atmosphere that determines the duration of accurate weather forecast has been introduced.
