Abstract: A new formulation for eddy diffusivity is derived from Taylor's statistical theory on turbulence and from a generalized turbulent spectral equation for energy in the inertial subrange. The latter aspect is taken into account for considering the intermittency phenomenon within turbulence model. The approach is used for a stable atmospheric boundary layer parameterization.
