Short summary
This work investigates the possible correlations between the integral scale of the turbulent stratified flows in the atmospheric boundary layer and parameters characterizing topological features of the wind velocity field, such as fractal dimension and its stability properties, studied through the bulk Richardson number. Fractal dimension and the integral scale of the horizontal (u') and vertical (w') velocity fluctuations have been calculated using the mean wind direction as a framework.
