“…Equation (8), presented on p. 679, provides a basic de®nition of moisture velocity, which inherently contains the effect of a temperature gradient, should one exist. The method by which equation (8) is developed to accommodate components of¯ow due to a moisture content and temperature gradient (Ewen & Thomas, 1989) or a potential and temperature gradient (Thomas & King, 1991) has been presented in detail previously by the senior author and co-workers. Again, due to limitations of space, it was not considered appropriate to repeat all the details in this paper.…”
