The effects of velocity fluctuations of upper flow on turbulent structure of atmospheric boundary layer were experimentally investigated. The atmospheric boundary layer was reproduced in a wind tunnel. In order to produce various velocity fluctuations in the upper flow, three kinds of turbulence grids were set to the entrance of the test section. The streamwise and spanwise velocities were simultaneously measured by using hot-wires anemometer. Turbulence statistics were estimated. The ratio of the Reynolds stress, Ruw, decreases as z/L increases and this tendency weaken according to the increase of the grid spacing. It is suggested that the effects on the turbulent structure of the atmospheric boundary layer depends on the scale of velocity fluctuations of the upper flow.
