<jats:p>The structure of the flat plate incompressible smooth-surface boundary layer in a low-speed water flow is examined using hydrogen-bubble measurements and also hot-wire measurements with dye visualization. Particular emphasis is placed on the details of the process of turbulence production near the wall. In the zone 0 < <jats:italic>y</jats:italic><jats:sup>+</jats:sup> < 100, the data show that essentially all turbulence production occurs during intermittent ‘bursting’ periods. ‘Bursts’ are described in some detail.</jats:p><jats:p>The uncertainties in the bubble data are large, but they have the distinct advantage of providing velocity profiles as a function of time and the time sequences of events. These data show that the velocity profiles during bursting periods assume a shape which is qualitatively distinct from the well-known mean profiles. The observations are also used as the basis for a discussion of possible appropriate mathematical models for turbulence production.</jats:p>
