An analytical model is developed for the interaction between wind shear and turbulence to improve the database for realistic flight simulator programming. Shear is treated as a spatially nonconstant mean flow, with consideration given to the associated anisotropy which can be a critical factor in landing approaches and take-offs during microburst events. A two-point velocity correlation is defined for anisotropic turbulence and the dynamical implications are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on turbulence conditions and scale lengths during a microburst, when turbulence is nonhomogeneous.
