                         turbulent virtual temperature data measured above forest, under 
                         day-time conditions. It is shown that there is a close 
                         relationship between time scale of the coherent structure (TCS) 
                         and the height to the inflection point in the mean wind speed

                         very robust correlation between these two time scales (for 144
