Occurrences of intermittent turbulence in very stable conditions during the CASES99 field study near Leon, Kansas, were detected at several sites separated by horizontal distances from 1 km to 25 km using sonic anemometers, minisodars, and a laser scintillometer. Periods with significant turbulent heat fluxes were separated by extended quiescent periods with little or no flux, and most of the flux during a night was realized in relatively small fractions (
