Abstract
In this paper, we revisit a well-known formulation of temperature structure parameter (CT2), originally proposed by V. I. Tatarskii. We point out its limitations and propose a revised formulation based on turbulence variance and flux budget equations. Our formulation includes a novel physically-based outer length scale which can be estimated from routine meteorological data.
