Using simple models for the form of the pressure strain terms in the heat and moisture flux transport equations, it is shown that the magnitude of the heat and moisture flux depends on the cross‐correlation coefficient of the temperature and humidity fluctuations. When the temperature and humidity fluctuations are weakly correlated it is shown that the coefficient of eddy conductivity may be significantly different from the coefficient of moisture eddy diffusivity.
