The wind and constituent measurements from the polar aircraft data are used to compute the flux spectra. Although there is variation from flights, the flux spectra generally fit a -2 to -1.5 power law as expected theoretically. This result suggests that tracer fluxes from small scale features do not substantially contribute to the overall tracer budget relative to the fluxes from the larger scales. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1992
